I'm passionate about the oceans and all organisms which inhabit this realm, and during my studies, I have also developed an interest in science communication and photography. Given the chance, I would love to combine these two interests - writing and photography - to convey compelling stories.

It's a great pleasure to contribute to a blog achieving exactly that and hopefully getting people excited about the marine environment!
