Summary

Since accomplishing a Professional Degree in Veterinary Medicine in 2015 at Universidad San Sebastián, Concepción, Chile, the search and professional performance have been developed in the maritime sector. I started working in the aquaculture Industry, specifically in salmon production, an essential economic axis in Chile, where I understood the importance of sustainable productive management. This experience laid the foundations for my interest in marine resources management. It led me to board an environmental study campaign, where I was able to develop nutritional skills in marine sampling and nautical logistics. Finally, I joined an aquaculture biotechnology laboratory, again in a research project related to infectious diseases in salmonids. Overall, I have strong clinical and pathological laboratory skills, sampling in adverse environmental conditions, high leadership skills, and a passion for marine conservation.
