As a marine biologist, her professional focus is on global plastic pollution, whose devastating effects on animals and nature she first encountered during her two-year stay in Oregon, USA, starting in 2009. Since then she has been actively working against pollution in the oceans and on land. Her microplastics project in Myanmar in 2015 finally inspired her to pass on her findings and since then she has been sensitizing schoolchildren and adults to this global problem in lectures, workshops and projects, visually reinforced by her photographs that document the plastic flood and its consequences.
