Why I do what I do
Growing up in Ecuador, I spent a lot of time at the beach and watching nature documentaries, so I learned to love and respect nature and all the amazing critters occupying this planet. Sadly, climate change is threatening the survival of many species around the world, including humans. I felt that becoming a marine scientist and studying how we can better protect the oceans would be a great way to contribute towards the conservation of our planet.
Something interesting about me
I love sports of any kind, so every year I learn a new one. Some of the sports I have done so far include scuba and free diving (a great way to see sharks!), rock climbing, boxing, kayaking, crossfit, cycling, swimming, skating, rollerblading, but my favorite by far is running.
