My Work experience

Following my internship, I continue to collaborate with Apex Ocean Divers, focusing on research, conservation, and scientific outreach.

Daily work from France: archiving data and photos provided by the team, creating educational materials and infographics.

In this context, I have developed a book of infographics on the region’s emblematic species, based on the initial infographics from my internship (over 20), and designed and printed educational brochures and field guides for ecotourism.

Field work (during my periods on site): data collection and photographic identification of observed species, in collaboration with the scientific team to support conservation projects.

I completed two voluntary internships in marine biology, in France and Mexico, to gain hands-on experience as early as possible. In my biology degree, marine biology is only a small part of the curriculum, and I wanted to quickly get out in the field to observe, learn, and contribute to research.

The preparation and organization of these internships were not easy: they were far from home, and I had to cover transport, accommodation, and living expenses, while taking a leave of absence from my student job (CDI).

Yet once on site, these experiences were incredible: I worked on scientific research (data cataloguing, photo-identification of species, reports, and statistics) and scientific outreach (infographics to educate tourists and the public).

I also developed my English skills, teamwork, and strengthened my lifelong passion for marine biology. These internships gave me a unique insight into fieldwork and applied science in different marine contexts.
