About Me

Marine Biologist & Scientific Project Manager

For years, I have worked as a researcher in marine biology and ecotoxicology, gaining a deep understanding of the challenges our oceans face. From studying pollution impacts on aquatic organisms at the Spanish National Research Council to protecting coral reefs and sea turtles in Australia, my career has been shaped by a commitment to the marine environment.

Now I work at the intersection where science meets impact — supporting organisations in giving the ocean a voice. My goal is to contribute to healthier, more protected oceans by promoting community engagement and the transfer of scientific knowledge into meaningful action.

I love telling stories about nature and science, discussing imperfect sustainability, and exploring how we can live more consciously on this fascinating planet. Firmly believe in the power of critical thinking.
