Introduction
I am an Oceanographer with a Ph.D. in Sciences/Ecology & Natural Resources interested in the adaptation and resilience of social-ecological systems. I have work experience in inter/transdisciplinary research, teaching and outreach. I aim to integrate stakeholders' and rights-holders' knowledge (ILK) with scientific knowledge to develop environmental policies and planning solutions. I have produced science communication materials to convey scientific information as part of my research activities.
