I am very passionate about science communication, believing it to be a crucial bridge between complex scientific research and public understanding. Sharing the intricate details of my work on climate change and marine ecosystems with diverse audiences is not only rewarding but essential for fostering informed communities and inspiring future generations of scientists. I strive to make science accessible and engaging through presentations, workshops, and public speaking events. If you are interested in having me speak at your event or collaborate on science communication initiatives, please feel free to contact me. Together, we can promote greater awareness and action on critical environmental issues.
