Originating from Messolonghi, Greece, she pursued a Bachelor’s in Biology at the University of Crete. Intrigued by marine ecosystems, her thesis explored the impact of high temperatures on fish development. This curiosity persisted during her Master’s in Environmental Biology, where she studied the effect of cyanobacteria-induced hepatotoxins during Harmful Algal Blooms on the fish physiology. A six-month Erasmus+ internship at the University Autonomous of Barcelona expanded her opportunities, contributing to a microplastics project under Patrizia Ziveri's guidance. Currently, her Ph.D. project focuses on the transformation of marine food webs amidst climate change, integrating studies on biodiversity and fish dynamics. Sedimentary records offer insights into past environmental conditions and communities, facilitating the reconstruction of fish and food web dynamics. Despite common assumptions, further research is required to fully understand otolith geochemistry and refine proxy interpretations.
