Biography:
I am a graduate student pursuing a master’s degree in marine science at The Marine Science Institute, University of the Philippines Diliman. My research interests focus on the genetics and genomics of marine organisms, including seaweeds, shrimps, fishes, and environmental DNA (eDNA). I previously worked as a Research Associate, where I developed experience in laboratory research, field sampling, and bioinformatics analysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data. Through this, I have contributed to studies on fish and seaweed phylogenetics and shrimp genomics. I have also served as a research technical consultant, providing technical support and conducting workshops for researchers and students.
