I’ve always had a strong connection to nature, particularly the ocean. I was lucky enough to have explored it from a young age. The sound of the waves, the open horizon, and the life within it have always drawn me in. Somehow, both my personal life and research have kept bringing me back to the ocean — it feels like the thread that ties everything together.
I'm an early-career researcher focusing on socio-ecological systems. My research explores the vital connections between ocean ecosystem health and human health and well-being — a nexus where science, people, and the planet intersect. I approach my work through the lens of One Health, which means examining health as a shared concept among people, animals, and ecosystems.
I have a background that spans the natural, health, and social sciences, and I’m particularly interested in integrating multiple methods, disciplines, and knowledge systems.
I created One Blue Health to bridge disciplines and sectors, and to spark collaborations between researchers, communities, and organizations. I believe that research should be thoughtful and slow — science that reflects, questions, and listens— allowing us to return to where we started and, as T.S. Eliot wrote, “know the place for the first time.”
I’ve been fortunate to learn from great mentors, and I hope to do the same for others — sharing what I’ve learned, fueling curiosity, and inspiring care for the planet and each other. I’m also deeply committed to equity in science and mobilizing knowledge in ways that reach and resonate with diverse audiences.
