I'm someone with strong problem-solving and communication skills. I bring enthusiasm and reliability to new challenges, demonstrating adaptability in various roles, and I am motivated to contribute positively to team objectives and personal development.

In Costa Rica I went with a group of fellow students and professors, while at Pacuare National Reserve we got to study leatherback sea turtles up close, by taking morphological measurements, such as carapace length, flipper length, etc., taking the temperature of the turtles at different parts of the body, and we helped out at the hatchery by carrying the eggs back to the hatchery on night patrols, watching over the hatchery for hatchlings to emerge, and maintaining the cleanliness and pristine conditions of the hatchery to ensure the maximum success rate for the hatchlings. In lecture we learned more about the evolution, life cycle, morphological and behavioral adaptations, reproduction habits, and threats to sea turtles all over the world, not just the leatherbacks.
