I have worked in several fisheries in the Caribbean Sea, South America, West Africa, and Europe, carrying out many projects mainly related to fishery management, monitoring, and stock assessment. 

I have been working in marine resource management and assessment for the past 20 years, carrying out a wide range of projects, from supporting fishing organizations to developing management plans, conducting stock assessments, biological sampling, fishing monitoring, surveys, and fish taxonomy others. I have extensive working experience in the Caribbean Sea, South America, West Africa, and Europe.
