How did you end up working for Greenpeace?
I studied biology and have done my diploma thesis and my Ph.D on marine issues. I worked for seven years at a marine scientific institute on a small island in Germany. I came to Greenpeace three years ago, because I would like to shift my work from basic scientific studies to more environmental issues. I have been a supporter of Greenpeace since I was 18 and I was very lucky to get the job as a campaigner and especially an oceans campaigner because the oceans are one of my passions.
What do you like best about your job?
To be on the sea!
If you could change one thing in the world what would it be?
I am completely focused on the oceans: Stop the destruction and plundering of the oceans and they will give us so much more.
