Pau is one of the Research Assistants of the Q-quatics team currently updating global catch reconstruction data. She obtained her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from the University of the Philippines Los Baños where her interest for the marine environment first started. She was introduced to conservation and sustainable management when she pursued a master’s degree in Environmental Science from the same university. Work-wise, she aspires to contribute more to the conservation and protection of our natural resources for future generations.
In her free time, Pau enjoys dabbling in photography, gardening, and baking, though she admits that her baking skills still need work. She also enjoys watching movies and series with her partner and taking long walks around the university campus with their dog. She envisions a future where she can ‘marry’ her work with her hobbies, hoping to inspire others to participate more actively in environmental initiatives and advocacy.
