Laura - Press Officer
From: the Netherlands
How come you're working on Defending our Oceans?
Working on a Greenpeace ship has been a dream since a long time; especially on the oceans campaign on which I have been working in the Netherlands for some years now.
What are you looking forward to most in this campaign?
As a press officer I have been working on sea-related subjects, mostly from my desk; I am very thrilled to see whales in real time!
How/why did you get involved with Greenpeace?
I used to work as a journalist, three years ago I found a job at Greenpeace Netherlands as a presss officer.
What personal connection do you have to the ocean (if any?)
I love water for swimming and sailing. I live in The Hague, the Netherlands, quite close to the sea. Whenever I want to clear my head I cycle to the beach to walk along. It always fascinates me what is underneath the surface - all colourful fishes and funny creatures that live in a completely different habitat!
What made you follow your chosen profession?
The world is being overexploited and although it's good to do whatever I can in my daily life, it feels good to be part of a bigger organisation that works to protect the environment and preserves the treasures of this world.
Anything else you'd like to say?
Being five months pregnant it is very special to be on a Greenpeace ship protecting the oceans. I hope my children can enjoy nature as much as we will do on this trip!
