I am a life scientist with a strong ability to adapt to unfamiliar challenges. I joined the Business and Strategic Relations team at INL to help bringing the FrontSH1P Project to frutiton; INL is WP8 leader of this European Circular Economy Consortia. Formerly, I conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Oxford UK, co-founded an academic spinoff on insect feed, co-led fundraising initiatives to support nonprofit organisations, and managed research projects and deliverables. I hold a PhD in Insect Behaviour and Nutriton from Newcastle University, UK (GABBA-FCT Scholarship) and have experience in engaging stakeholders across multiple sectors, event planning, and science communication. I enjoy developing and implementing science-backed strategies that drive meaningful impact. I bring a unique blend of scientific expertise, leadership skills and commitment to sustainable development. Besides this, I enjoy experimenting with cullinary arts and cooking, beekeeping, flower press, attending music festivals and cycling.
