Aged 14, back in primary school, I fell in love with the topic of environmental protection and ecology. I have been in the field ever since through student research projects and competitions, summer camps, international projects, BSc, MSc, and finally through my current job as an Environmental Scientist.

 

I was always a great student, top-of-the-class kind, and very good at simplifying complex problems and the science behind them for everyone. Because of it, I was frequently approached to give my take on hot environmental topics. I was asked to give facts because people were confused by mixed messages and diverse articles. 

 

While doing my master thesis on the environmental performance of synthetic fibers, I realized the extent of the perception gap between what science & research tells us and what public opinion is. It is when the idea of launching a competency-driven platform was born to address the environmental issues, misconceptions and provide ways for meaningful action to everyone. It really concerns us all.

 

Winning the 2020 Durabilis Prize for EPFL projects in sustainability was my trigger; becoming a Researcher a definite confirmation that I should start bringing my profession to everyone. So here we are.
