Xenia Perez Sitja
 

You might initially label me as a researcher, but with a closer look, you may consider me a communicator, writer, coordinator or designer – a jack-of-all-trades, if you will.

With a BSc in Biomedicine and an MSc in Science Communication, I've spent my time diving into outreach and community management for European and national projects, covering areas like aquaculture, bioinformatics and data stewardship.

On the side, I've worked for the private sector crafting conference programmes in Pharma, cybersecurity and Big Tech, or as a marketing copywriter for international life sciences recruitment firms.

Outside work, you can find me crafting episodes of a podcast on alternative careers in science and writing about women in science and science about women.
