Expertise

With seven years in marine research and several years working in marketing for conservation-focused NGOs, I bring experience in science communication, storytelling and a deep knowledge of wildlife to my role.

Passion

I am driven by a love for the ocean and the wildlife that inhabits it. I am happiest with a mask and my underwater camera, exploring new dive sites.

Habitat

My habitat would be anywhere in the sea, but preferably surrounded by sharks. 

Languages

Secret Atlas combines a passion for travel with a real commitment to minimising their impact on the ocean. Knowing I work for a company that helps people explore remote places while doing it responsibly makes being part of Secret Atlas even more rewarding. It’s a place where travel, discovery, and conservation truly come together.

Questions & Answers

My most transformative travel experience

One of my most memorable travel experiences was diving at Aliwal Shoal in Umkomaas, South Africa, where I finally got to live out my dreams- diving with sharks, whales and dolphins. After endless hours of watching ocean documentaries, it really felt as if I was in the middle of one. It was something that just deepened my love for the ocean even more and continues to motivate everything I do.

My exploration inspiration

David Attenborough has been a huge inspiration to me. His lifelong dedication to exploring and protecting the natural world has shaped how I view the ocean and its wildlife.

My dream adventure

I have a few, but Baja California, Svalbard and Galapagos are high on my list!
