Our Founder and CEO
As a marine biologist raised in a small town of farmers in landlocked Arkansas, Amy Whitt understands the importance of following your passions regardless of your situation. The old proverb “where there’s a will, there’s a way” definitely applies to Amy’s life. Her strong will and passion for conservation and outreach propelled her into a personally rewarding career helping others while protecting the environment.
Amy has over 11 years of professional experience in protected species research and environmental management. Prior to founding Azura, Amy served as the Marine Science Program Manager and Scientific Diving Program Manager for VersarGMI. She has conducted marine research and environmental compliance projects across the globe for a variety of clients including federal and state agencies, the oil and gas industry, and the offshore renewable energy industry. A conservationist, explorer, and grammar guru, Amy continues to apply her “where there’s a will, there’s a way” approach to help clients find solutions to their problems, and she encourages this ethic in the rest of the Azura team.
