Since I was a child my love for fantasy and fairy tales was reflected through my growing interest in learning more about nature and animals since I noticed that there is something magical about them. It was during my veterinary studies that I realized how much we still have to study and understand about our world.

I am currently pursuing a Master of Science degree focused on disease ecology as I feel a sense of responsibility to fully understand how our actions have repercussions on the health of our ecosystems and therefore on the conservation of wildlife.

Contributing to research projects in such complex ecosystems, such as tropical forests, and in little studied areas seems to me an incredible way to improve our understanding of how to conserve and protect them.
