About Guabanito
My journey began with a goal to become a journalist, driven by a desire to change people's perceptions of the world. I pursued media and communication studies at Goldsmith College in London from 2007 to 2010.
After securing a position as a radio project manager in a radio sales house, I quickly realized that financial considerations dominated decisions in the media industry, leading to a growing skepticism about its impact.
Seeking a change and driven by a natural passion for the environment, I flew to Australia and transitioned into a role as a scuba dive instructor, drawn to teaching and connecting with people. This love for the underwater world naturally evolved into a role as an underwater photographer, aligning with my media background.
When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, it prompted a deeper reflection. I recognized that my profound enjoyment of interacting with and teaching people was rooted in a curiosity to understand and empathize with them. This realization fueled my decision to study psychology, leading to the completion of a Graduate Diploma in Psychology.
Finding immense fulfillment in the field, I decided to extend my studies and pursue a 4th year to obtain a Bachelor of Psychological Science. Currently volunteering at the Undergraduate Research Internship, I am drawn to the project 'Mental Health Professionals Weathering Climate and Environmental Challenges' because it perfectly aligns with my core interests—environmental concerns, understanding people's psychology, and contributing to the community for a tangible impact.
