Corpus Christi, Texas — Nicolas Perez joins Texas Sea Grant as the newest Communications Specialist based out of Corpus Christi, Texas.
As the Communications Specialist, Nicolas will develop communications materials and publications that showcase and support Texas Sea Grant’s programs, with a specific focus on Texas Sea Grant’s Resilient Communities and Economies (RCE) focus area. He will also be responsible for writing, editing and assisting in the production and design of informational and promotional materials.
Nicolas earned his B.S. in Communication Studies with minors in both Psychology and Music Industry from Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi.
Within the last few years, Nicolas has been the Web Editor for Island Waves News covering a variety of topics with his team and earning second place from the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association (TIPA)awards in 2020.
Outside of work, Nicolas is a bibliophile and gamer, be it video games or table top role playing games. His favorite genres include science fiction, fantasy and horror; he wants to someday be a published author of a novel.
“I grew up here, in the Corpus Christi area, and have always loved taking my runs out in nature as opposed to on a treadmill,” said Nicolas. “I look forward to learning more about the sea and spreading that knowledge and literacy with others as well.”
