Biography

Mackensie duPont Crowley is the digital communications coordinator of GSO Public Engagement, where she manages the school’s website, social media presence, MARITiMES email newsletter, and other digital products. 

She collaborates with students, faculty and staff across GSO and the Narragansett Bay Campus to develop engaging stories, coordinate digital products and messaging, and find ways to access new and diverse audiences. A writer at heart, she loves the challenge of crafting language that effectively communicates the great ocean science research and exploration happening at GSO.

A graduate of Fairfield University’s Dolan School of Business, Mackensie honed her science and environmental communication skills at Save The Bay, where she managed content and digital media before joining GSO. She completed a master’s degree in Communication Studies with a focus on climate messaging at URI in 2026.
