I am interested in the conservation of marine species, and how man and nature can live together sustainably. In recent decades the exploitation of nature has affected many living things. I hope to spread awareness about these issues, and to contribute to direct actions to protect nature.

I am currently in my third year of studying for a degree in Marine Science at Padjadaran University. Alongside my studies, I have also served as the Head of the university’s Fisheries Information and Communication Division, am a member of the Marine Science Diving Organization, and am the current Vice President of the Marine Science Student Association. Last year I helped to establish an Endangered Species Community.

I am very interested in photography and journalism. Through my Associations I have organized several events about using photography and journalism to communicate and raise awareness about conservation issues.

I am very happy to be selected for a Guy’s Trust MantaWatch Award. I hope that through this opportunity I can develop my knowledge and experience, and to share this knowledge with my friends to help develop the quality of our Marine Science students.
