Marine ecologist (Ph.D.) with 12 years of experience in European coastal ecosystems | Science Communicator (M.Sc.)

Profile Summary

As a marine ecologist (Ph.D.) I am specialized in marine intertidal systems, benthic macrofauna, migratory fish, coastal habitats and trophic species interactions. I am also a qualified science communicator (M.Sc.) used to work in (inter)national collaborations and experienced to communicate scientific findings to peers, layman audiences and other stakeholders. Currently I am self employed as a marine ecology consultant at Seawise ECO Solutions, where I support (former) colleagues from Royal HaskoningDHV, clients and partners on marine ecology related topics in a variety of projects.
