Andrea Bozman was raised by the Ocean. She grew up on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, running along driftwood above the rocky intertidal. After studying fisheries and aquaculture at Vancouver Island University, Andrea moved to Bodø, Norway. At Nord University, she completed a PhD in Aquatic Bioscience, researching mesopelagic jellyfish under the midnight sun and northern lights. Living in the Arctic Circle deepened her appreciation for coastal environments and the extremes marine species face under a changing climate.
Andrea is compelled to share marine science with audiences outside the scientific sphere. She is an award-winning Ocean science communicator and creative writer working across genres including children’s literature, eco-poetry, nonfiction, and literary fiction. Her children’s book, Callie og vannveggen, is used as an Ocean literacy tool in 300+ early childhood education centres across Norway. She’s recognized by the EU4Ocean for bringing forward Ocean literacy in Europe.
Andrea will not stop learning. She is currently an MLitt Creative Writing student at the University of Glasgow focusing on climate fiction, ecopoetry, and hybrid essays that weave science stories into prose.
Andrea lives on the Norwegian coast with her family of four. She can often be found near saltwater seeking solace in the smell of phytoplankton and exploring the beach with her children.
