About
I am a second-year Master's student in Science, Conservation, and Valorization of Marine Resources at Univeristè de Cote D'azur (FR). I am soon to graduate in July. Previously, I have achieved a Bachelor's degree in Marine Biology with Biodiversity and Conservation at Anglia Ruskin University (UK). I knew that I wanted to pursue these studies from a young age. I have had learning difficulties during my whole education, so I set the goal high and pursue my dream to become a Marine Biologist. However, during my Bachelor's studies, I understood that I did not want to do research or lab work. I loved being on the field. However, I was looking for other opportunities, which I have found during my Master's degree. I have understood that being a marine biologist involved conservation, Blue Economic, renewable energy, necessary actions that must be taken to protect our planet and the species that made me fall in love with Marine Biology. My strong personality has brought me to work with Worldrise working on one of the next years' primary goals, which is reaching 30% of Marine protected Areas by 2030. Worldrise and I, with 30x30 Italia, are hoping to change a whole country's perspective, joining others to reach such a critical ocean change.
