Available to hire
I am a biologist and filmmaker with a passion for nature, marine life, and storytelling. My work spans field research, documentary production, and aerial cinematography, combining scientific insight with compelling visuals to raise awareness about biodiversity and sustainable development. I thrive in multidisciplinary teams and love exploring different cultures and environments while delivering engaging content for international audiences.
Over the years I have built a career that blends research, storytelling, and technical skills (drone operations, underwater filming, and post-production). I am proactive, adaptable, and motivated by projects that inform, inspire, and connect people with the natural world.
