"Originally from Belgium, I came to Canada (BC) to study for my PhD and I really enjoy sharing about other people's culture. I am excited to work with the Hercules on the Nautilus as it will allow me to have a first-hand view of the environment (Saanich Inlet) I have been working in for more than a year now. Such an incredible opportunity!"
