Professional Summary

Dedicated Oceanographer with over a decade of expertise in marine science, environmental monitoring, and coastal ecosystem management. Based in New Zealand Wellington, I specialize in researching the unique marine biodiversity of the South Pacific and its interaction with global climate change. My work focuses on sustainable ocean practices, data-driven policy development, and collaboration with local communities to address challenges such as ocean acidification and rising sea levels. With a strong academic background from Victoria University of Wellington and hands-on experience with institutions like NIWA (National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research), I am committed to advancing scientific knowledge while contributing to New Zealand’s environmental stewardship.
