Consider this an ongoing anthology of me,
personally and professionally…
– Kirsten Buccigrossi
Personal
Outside of the 9-5 (see Professional section below), you can find me… well, I’m not always exactly sure where you can find me. It depends on the day! I’m a true multipotentialite and have too many interests to count.
I enjoy reading, hiking, cooking, travel, writing, spending time with my wife and our dog and cat, and oh, so much more!
If you’re into personalities and want to psychoanalyze, I’m a cusp millennial, textbook Cancer, Obliger of the Four Tendancies, ENFJ (sometimes the N is a S, and sometimes the J is a P)… I’ll work on my enneagram next!
These lists have shape shifting super powers. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
Professional
As a maritime professional with 15+ years in the industry, I have diverse experiences both afloat and ashore. Filling billets aboard small passenger cruise ships, tugs, and research vessels, I have sailed the Great Lakes, east coast, Pacific Northwest, and Alaska. I have also worked shore side in operations, logistics, safety, and marketing roles.
In my current position, I am able to combine industry experience with my lifelong passion for education. Connecting and collaborating are what I enjoy most.
I hold a 1600 Ton Mate Near Coastal, 200 Ton Master Near Coastal, and an AB Unlimited Merchant Mariner License. I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree in English from The University of Akron and am currently attending graduate school at Ball State University, working on a Masters degree in Curriculum and Instructional Technology.
There are many areas that peak my career interest: maritime, education, communication, leadership, DEI, and the like.
Similar to my personal life, I have ever changing “avid” and “aspiring” lists for my professional endeavors as well. There is always something new to explore on the horizon!
