Mapping Technician

As a recent graduate from the University of Victoria, I am eager to learn how to better manage water systems in Canada. Growing up in Chile, some of my fondest memories are of the beach, where I loved to spend a warm day splashing around in the cold water or walking on the pier at sundown.

Since childhood, I knew I wanted to help manage pollution and help keep our environment cleaner. Being so grateful for nature, it seemed a perfect fit for me to become an environmentalist. At SeaChange, where maintaining a healthy ecosystem for future generations is a main goal, I’m very excited to learn more about mapping software and how it can be used to strategically maintain our ecosystems. Coastal ecosystems are very complex and always changing, so my objective is to make use of technology to better track and study water systems.

Besides being an environmental activist, I enjoy watching movies at the cinema and rock climbing. I am also an avid collector, so my own movie collection is always growing!
