Ahoy! My name is Sara Nikšić, also known by my artist alias Inner Child. 

I am a marine biologist, ecologist, bioacoustician, musician, award-winning composer, storyteller and educator, among many other things. 

My research has taken me across the world’s oceans – from my homeland of Croatia to Scotland, Australia, New Zealand, California, New Caledonia, Tonga, Greenland and Antarctica. A big part of my work also revolves around nature conservation and education, along with creating music, stories and art-science projects. 

I was blessed with the opportunities to work with some of the most incredible beings, scientists and artists on this planet, and to present my work at some of the biggest scientific conferences, institutes and music festivals in the world.
