Materials engineer specializing in marine composites and corrosion protection systems for ships, yachts, and port structures.

Accredited as an AMPP Coating Inspector (CIP), she leads Navalis in the standardization of surface preparation procedures, coating application, and QA/QC on site and in the shipyard, with a focus on reducing rework, ensuring thickness compliance (DFT), and providing guarantees against osmosis, underfilm corrosion, and fouling.

She integrates laminate and process design (hand lay-up, vacuum infusion, prepreg out-of-autoclave) with ISO 12215 criteria for hulls and decks of small boats, and with testing and inspection methodologies (ASTM/ISO/AMPP) to ensure mechanical performance and durability.

It absorbs the Advanced Paints and Coatings line, including epoxy barrier coats, antifoulings (SPC/ablative/hard), aliphatic polyurethanes, and high-performance hybrid systems, as well as cathodic protection (sacrificial anodes/ICCP) and metal-coating-electrolyte compatibilities in marine environments.

Its teaching approach is based on constructive alignment and practical workshops: from the laminate layout and surface plan to validation through testing (adhesion ASTM D4541/D3359, profile ISO 8503/D4417, soluble salts ISO 8502-6/9, porosity ASTM D5162), leaving documentary traceability for audits, class, and after-sales.
