In this eighth episode of our STE(A)M IT STEM Careers Podcast, Eleni Myrtsioti from European Schoolnet spoke with Cristina Calheiros, an Environmental Engineer and Research Scientist in Nature-Based Solutions!

Having always had an interest in the environment and having at heart to contribute to society, Cristina was genuinely drawn to this field when her grandmother first introduced her to environmental engineering. Also a believer of shared knowledge, Cristina kindly accepted our invitation to this podcast. She told us about her typical working day and the skills needed to complete her daily tasks. She also shared her advice to students, telling us about the importance of being curious, open-minded and finding your passion in life. Listen to the podcast to find out more!
