Mit mehr als 10 Jahren Erfahrung in der Nachhaltigkeitsprüfung und -beratung unterstütze ich Partner aus Aquakultur und Verarbeitung sowie Fischereibetriebe weltweit bei der Erlangung internationaler Zertifizierungen oder der Erfüllung interner Qualitätsstandards.
With a Agrarbiologe (specializing in animal husbandry and landscape ecology) and an M.Sc. in Aquaculture and marine Resources, I bring both academic knowledge and decades of practical fieldwork to every project.
