Originally from Virginia, Aubri Keith has lived and worked around the world since earning her Bachelor of Science in International Business from Virginia Commonwealth University and her Master of Science in Marine Science and Conservation from Unity Environmental University. Her passion for the ocean and scuba diving led her to the yachting industry, where she built a dynamic career as a dive instructor, chase boat captain, underwater photographer and videographer, and first officer aboard private yachts and liveaboard dive vessels.
Aubri holds a United States Coast Guard 200-Ton Master License and is a professional underwater photographer whose work has been featured in the National Gallery of the Cayman Islands and several international publications.
While completing her graduate capstone, Aubri collaborated with The International SeaKeepers Society on a research project evaluating its Citizen Science program. That experience led her to join SeaKeepers in May 2023. Now serving as Director of Expeditions, she leads the development and coordination of Scientist-Led Expeditions, connecting researchers with vessels and overseeing projects that advance marine research and conservation around the world. She is also one of the captains of SeaKeepers’ Vessel DISCOVERY II, supporting local expeditions and outreach throughout South Florida.
