Tanya Gallagher: Music and Science make a Sweet Duet
On most Sundays, you can find UWF graduate student Tanya Gallagher toting her guitar and singing her favorite Jack Johnson songs to the morning brunch crowd at one of Pensacola’s beach restaurants. Her folk-acoustic music style provides brunch go-ers the perfect environment.
Gallagher is one of more than 12,000 students that make up the growing student body at UWF. She received her bachelor’s degree in environmental science from UWF in May 2010 and is now working toward her master’s degree in environmental studies.
While doing her video interview, she joked, “I’d do much better if I could just sing it to you.”
