Mateja Svonja

BSc Applied Freshwater and Marine Biology & PhD Student

ATU Galway City

As an MFRC postgraduate with diverse experience in work and volunteering, I'm well-positioned to effectively promote Education for Sustainability. My degree in marine biology and involvement in environmental work, notably my participation in Brussels' Hack4Oceans, have showcased my unwavering commitment. As an international student, I've embraced adaptability and compromise in advocating for the blue economy. Transitioning from collecting recyclables at a young age to aspiring researcher, I've undergone significant growth. With proper guidance, sharing my journey can inspire others to make similar impactful shifts, facilitating our understanding and collaboration with nature.
