When I came to the realisation of the current health status of marine environments, I also understood that studying them was no longer enough. I had to voice it and I had to act upon it.

 

In 2013, I joined the then newest ship in the Sea Shepherd’s Neptune Navy, the former MY Sam Simon. What was meant to be a 4 weeks journey, became 4 full years of my life, where I shifted from ship to ship, campaign after campaign, crewing vessels that had as a main purpose to protect marine life.

 

From the icy waters of Antarctica to the vastness of the North Atlantic,

I cruised through all the world’s oceans, fighting for its protection and pristineness, stopping illegal whaling activities and chasing illegal fishing vessels across the globe.

 

In 2017 I disembarked to pursue new goals and engaged in broader public speaking events with the mission of sharing stories that could potentially inspire others to act from the space they were doing life.

 

Since 2020, I live between Australia and Brazil, working onboard expedition vessels as a Naturalist as well as working with brands that are in a sustainable journey. A big passion of mine is sharing the wonders of this world with people and learning from their experiences.

 

I spend my personal time exploring coastlines, floating above the water line or submerged and If the weather is not appropriate and being salty is not an option, you’ll find me find me adventuring rugged landscapes, forest trails and waterfalls or in fluffy boots, holding a hot cup of herbal tea, contemplating the blue horizon.
