After completing my master degree, I pursued my dream to work as a researcher at the WorldFish Center (CGIAR). Worldfish Center is an international non-profit research organisation with the mission to reduce poverty and hunger by improving fisheries and aquaculture. From there, I gained knowledge and experience in producing impactful research related to rural development and poverty reduction, working with people from a multicultural background, managing cross-disciplinary and cross-institution projects.
