Originally trained in France as an environmental engineer with a strong background
in media and communication, Fred has been involved as a marine ecologist
in a variety of remote field based projects ranging from tropical reef monitoring
to Antarctic ecology in a broad range of topics. Fred’s PhD research focused on
monitoring signals of climate change in the breeding habitats of Antarctic seabirds
and gave her a wealth of experience in the (Sub-)Antarctic environment and operations,
with 7 consecutive summers and a winter. In parallel, she worked as an
environmental engineer, wilderness photographer, expedition guide, lecturer and
skipper. She became involved in documentary production as logistic support/camera/
sound, all projects field based as she enjoys the challenge of being autonomous
in remote conditions.
