During school, she focused on wildlife and marine animals, and had the opportunity of working with a large variety of species such as neotropical monkeys (marmosets and cappuchin monkeys), manned wolf, raptors, toucans, oppossums, penguins, aquatic birds, sloths, seaturtles, marine mammals (manatees), etc., while she was an intern in Wildlife Rescue Centers, Zoos and beach monitoring programs. Marina loves traveling and diving into new cultures. She has been to at least 17 countries and 12 out of 27 states in Brazil, and her favorite thing to do while visiting new places is to walk, go on hikes and talk to the locals. A few of her favorite activities are painting, reading, playing sports, bicycling, beeing by the water (sea/river/lakes) and connecting with nature. At home, she has four dogs (Balu, Chico, Maia and Tuca) and they are the love of her life. Marina is very passionate about life in general, and what excites hers the most is being able to interact with people and to listen to what they are passionate about.
