​

I am a biologist, an ecologist, a shark researcher, a female scientist. I am Colombian, I am Argentinian and I am American. A writer and an artist, I have my feet in the ground but my head in the clouds. I am a dreamer, an idealist and a surrealist. I am a conservationist, and an activist. I fight for the rights to learn and communicate science, for the rights to have clean air and water, for the rights to a healthy ocean and a healthy planet.

 

I fight for animal rights and human rights.
