I am a policy advisor on natural resource governance. I specialise in the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species for Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).  Additionally, I am undertaking a PhD with University College London and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.  My doctoral research is examining how global policies accommodate the diverse relationships, uses and sustainable trade of wildlife. 

My research interests are ethnobotany, wildlife trade, medicinal plants and biocultural diversity.
