I have completed a master’s and PhD in the field of Marine Sciences with a focus in Fisheries Management and Technology. My current key skills include Fisheries Science: Management & Sustainability, Technology, Project Management; Software: PRIMER & Permanova+, Microsoft (Excel, Powerpoint, etc.), QGiS, R and Inkscape as well as regarding being native in English and Polish and a B1 in Portuguese. I have contributed to ICES reports and workshops, as well as preparing technical reports and publications regarding the TECPESCAS national project from IPMA and TramSel project of CCMAR. I have presented my works regarding TECPESCAS and TramSel in the 8th World Fisheries Congress, the 2023 SAFET Conference, the 2021 and 2024 ICES WGFTFB annual meeting, and a poster in the One Ocean Science Congress 2025. I have created a school project with the CCMAR communications office: "From Sea to Plate" for students from ages 5 to 18. I am currently a member of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion group of CCMAR, the ICES Working Group on Fishing Technology and Fish Behaviour (WGFTFB), and ICES Working Group on Innovative Fishing Gear (WGING) and EuroMarine OYSTER group.
