In this episode of Between the Levees, I'm joined by Ms. Taylor O'Brien, a SUNY grad that found her way across the Atlantic. With educational and professional tracks well outside the levees, she found herself in the barging world with a shoreside job that began in mid-2021. Her developing appreciation for the inland and western rivers has been supplemented, thankfully, by this very podcast.
We dive into her childhood sailing on Long Island Sound, her early college career playing lacrosse before the jump to SUNY Maritime, her sea terms in school, memories of 9/11, an early career at sea, and her life since coming shoreside.
