My passion for marine ecosystems was evident since I was five years old. I completed my Bachellor in Science on May 2012. In January 2014, I started my Master's degree because I want to make a difference by helping and protecting marine ecosystems development. I have an interest to study the sexual reproduction of two morphotypes of Montastrea cavernosa. I can say that every day is a new experience in this career and I never regret my decision of applying for this department.
