Meet The Team
Jainah Etheart
Jainah’s first experience with World Ocean School was in August 2021 as part of the Senior Ambassador Program. Having absolutely no prior experience with sailing, she had not the slightest idea what her experience aboard Roseway would be like. Throughout the duration of the program, not only did she relish her time as a junior deckhand, she found herself enthralled by the experience of living aboard a functioning vessel. Following the conclusion of the program, she continued communication with staff at World Ocean School in efforts to remain involved and give back during her educational gap year. After frequent meetings with program director Tatiana Dalton, and board of directors member Waseem Givens, they collectively decided to appoint Jainah as the new Alumni Relations Coordinator. Her enthusiasm for the program allows her to encapsulate other alumni, and re-familiarize them with their positive Roseway experiences, helping to expand program outreach and provide important resources to keep the program running smoothly.
When she is not working with World Ocean School, Jainah typically spends her time exploring her local woods and self-teaching botany and mycology. As an alumna of Dana Hall School, she spent four years of her time there as an equestrian, and hopes to resume her horseback riding career in the near future.
