Hanna found her passion for the marine environment back in 2012
when she was working as a deckhand on board the tall ship Soren
Larsen for its 7-month voyage of the South Pacific Ocean. Sailing
from Sydney (Australia) she went to New Zealand, Samoa, Tonga,
Fiji, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, before we returned to Sydney.
Nature dictated the days on board, and her daily encounters with
marine animals, including dolphins, flying fish, albatrosses, and
pilot whales helped her learn the powers of the ocean. We sailed
through storms that tore our sails, through sea-states with
4-meter high waves, and we climbed the mast in pouring
rain.
Hanna's time in Australia and the South Pacific led her to start
a degree in Animal Biology at Stirling University in Scotland.
Since this Hanna has started a degree in qualitative analysis and
statistics.
Hanna currently runs the account Sustainable Biologist on
Instagram where she shares  knowledge of conservation and
the marine environment in hopes to raise awareness of issues
related to both marine and terrestrial animals.
