- About Me:
- Dr. Galvin - scientist, filmmaker, educator and writer - uses her background in public health and environmental science to inform her work as a filmmaker. Galvin has a Doctor of Science (Sc.D.) in Environmental Health from the Harvard School of Public Health, a Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) in Environmental Epidemiology from Yale University, and a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Aquatic Biology from Brown University. In 2006 she founded reelblue, LLC (www.reelblue.net), a media production company specializing in stories about global health and the environment. Her paired book/documentary film project on the island of Eleuthera, Bahamas, resulted in the publishing of We, Sea, a book about the ocean's impact on the lives of Bahamian children as told through their own photographs and in their own words; Free Swim (2009) is a film about the paradox of islanders not knowing how to swim. Galvin is also a Trustee and Selection Committee Member of the Henry David Thoreau Foundation (www.thoreauscholar.org) and on the Board of Directors of Swim to Empower (www.swimtoempower.org).
