Naturalist and Marine Mammal biologist
Needless to say I have been fascinated by nature since childhood. A natural consequence for me was to undertake Natural Sciences education. Since then I had the opportunity to be involved in research related experiences within marine mammal science in Iceland, California and now in the Azores. Here I have been working also as a guide onboard whale watching boats. Although challenging, I believe it is essential to find a compromise between our needs and the need for environmental protection.
