"I bring a wealth of expertise in marine biology and naturalism to our French Polynesia program. My academic journey has led me to study organisms ranging from algae to fish in various countries, specializing in embryonic development and marine organism reproduction amidst climate change challenges. Through collaborations with esteemed institutions like CNRS and AWI, I've honed my skills as a certified scientific diver and instructor, using my passion for wildlife photography to educate and inspire others about marine conservation. My current focus on coral reef research in French Polynesia is my commitment to preserving our planet's oceans for future generations."
