Responsibilities

With a Ph.D. in Ocean Sciences, I am currently working on unraveling the intricate journey of natural methane emissions in a warming world. My job as a scientist, together with my deep connection to nature and belief in the transformative power of knowledge, drive my fervent advocacy for scientific literacy and sustainability.

My passion lies in translating intricate scientific facts into compelling narratives that resonate with both academic and non-academic audiences. I especially focus on crafting relatable content in my native languages (Spanish and Catalan) to overcome language barriers in science communication.

As a climate ambassador, I am committed to disseminating the importance of natural methane emissions in the context of global warming. I aspire to bridge the gap between climate change and seemingly unrelated aspects of our daily lives, making such connections more evident. Finally, I plan to actively engage citizens in capturing and sharing the tangible effects of climate.
