Denielle Christensen
Denielle founded WaveWorks Alliance after spending 21 years immersed in the commercial marine sector through WorkBoat Magazine, International WorkBoat Show, Pacific Marine Expo, and National Fisherman Magazine. It was there that she saw firsthand the incredible demands placed on these industries and the growing workforce challenges they face. More recently, Denielle worked in the offshore wind industry, where she saw those challenges intensify as traditional trades were asked to adapt to new technologies and skill requirements. That experience brought her back to the marine sector with a renewed purpose: to help meet these challenges head-on by building a stronger, more inclusive, and future-ready workforce.
