The National Lighthouse Museum, Staten Island, NY Lecture Series Continues " Living Ones Dream to Cr
May 10, 2018 |
In 2017 Dr. Violeta M. Ivanova dream to sail across an ocean came true, when she sailed from the British Virgin Islands to the Azores, Portugal. Her journey begins by joining the crew in St. Martin, through the quirks of sharing 40 feet of boat with three men, to standing solo watches in Force 7 (15 foot) seas hundreds of miles away from land. She will recount the story of her first ocean crossing. It is also a story of following one’s dreams. Violeta is a freelance photographer and videographer, and will use her own original photographs in this presentation.
Violeta M. Ivanova is a Master USCG-licensed captain and a certified sailing instructor of the American Sailing Association. Prior to pursuing a mariner’s career, Violeta worked as an educational technology consultant and an instructor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, MA, and as an engineer in industry. She holds a Ph.D. in geoenvironment and geotechnology from MIT, and has also studied in the MFA program in film production at the University of Texas at Austin. When not sailing across oceans or traveling elsewhere in the world, she lives on Staten Island.
