Born in Turin in 1999, I am currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Environmental Biology, with a focus on Animal Biodiversity Conservation. I obtained a Bachelor's Degree in Natural Sciences from theUniversity of Turinin 2023, with an experimental dissertation entitled “Analysis of the Pelagic Copepod Fauna of the Southern Ligurian Sea.” Through this research project, I began working on the study of mesozooplankton communities and further developed my expertise in the field. Since 2024, I have been working with Pelagosphera , focusing on the taxonomy and ecology of Mediterranean and oceanic copepod fauna. I have been a certified scuba diver since 2022, the year in which I obtained my first diving qualification, followed by an advanced-level certification in 2024.
