Mo Wise is a true California girl. She was even on an episode of Laguna Beach (she worked in a surf shop that the reality stars frequented). Mo is laid back and often has salty hair from a day spent in the ocean and dirt under her nails from working in her favorite place- the great outdoors. But don't be fooled by her laid-back attitude and friendly personality, Mo is a serious scientist. She got her undergrad from UC Santa Barbara in Aquatic Science, and after testing the job market for two years she knew her passions lay in fieldwork. (Although gardening in Kauai, HI was a pretty close second). So Mo made the decision to go back to school and last year graduated with her Masters in Marine Science.
