Summary
Passionate and driven science enthusiast with a strong foundation in water ecology, landscape architecture, and freshwater ecosystem restoration. My background spans laboratory research, plant biology, and hydrobiology, with hands-on experience in wetland and land restoration, native plant ecology, and technical design using SketchUp and Photoshop. Deeply fascinated by marine and coastal systems, I am eager to apply my knowledge to marine sustainability and conservation. As a certified diver with a lifelong connection to the ocean, I am committed to bridging the gap between terrestrial and marine ecosystems, contributing meaningfully to research that advances coastal resilience and aquatic ecosystem health.
