an ocean enthusiast born and raised by the Sea in southwest Portugal, with German roots. My deeper connection began in my teens (2006), when I first tryed the waves of this coast and started bodyboarding. Waves shaped key life choices, from living by the sea to studying Marine Biology. Through my studies, I discovered scuba diving and began exploring the underwater world, deepening my connection beyond the surface. In 2014, I started working and helped build a marine wildlife watching boat tour company, focusing on dolphins, whales, and seabirds — all in Sagres, the southwestern tip of Europe. I experienced two Cold November seasons of Whale Watching in Norway in the Arctic circle for Orcas and Humpback Whales.
The ocean isn’t just where I work. It’s where my life makes sense.
