Maria Blunsum

Data Analyst

I studied (BSc) Environmental Geoscience at Durham University. I have always been interested in learning more about the environment, ocean and climate which was deeply derived from my love for the outdoors.

I join ARK in Sept 2023. I initially came to volunteer at ARK in August 2023, I fell in love with the community and the working ethos of A Rocha, so when I was offered a job to work as the data analyst I knew I had to come.
My role as  the data manager and analyst involves sorting through, cleaning, analyzing and finalizing data collected from research projects in the field. I have learnt the beauty of working intentionally  with compassion and to take pride in my work and fully appreciate my colleagues  and see to it that  they benefit greatly  from my input.

I appreciate how welcoming and caring A Rocha as an organization is, I feel very lucky to be apart of such a community that is very rare for a workplace. I love to snorkel on my weekends and make the most of my  life at the coast. I also love to paint, read and cook tasty meals.
