Thomina Konstantara

I am a Forestry graduate from University of Thessaloniki, Greece, holding a MSc in Protection of Environment. My constant curiosity has lead me to work efficiently as a Lab technician due to my experience working with plant tissues. However, my research experience had me involved in two projects in the year of 2019 , where I was having my Erasmus+ inernship. Currently I've been living in Utrecht, aiming to pursue a carreer in my field and hoping to assist with my knowledge and experience .
