I graduated in Biology from the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) and specialized in Marine Biology through the Erasmus Mundus Master’s program in Marine Environment (MER+). My main area of interest is benthic ecology, with a particular focus on macroalgae, including ecosystem functioning and the impacts of human activity and climate change. The primary goal of my research is to promote the conservation of marine ecosystems dominated by macroalgal forests through multidisciplinary and applicable science.

Currently, I am pursuing my PhD with a Predoctoral Fellowship from the Basque Government, studying Laminaria rodriguezii forests—an endangered deep-water kelp species endemic to the Mediterranean Sea.
