I work as a technician for Millennium Seed Bank Partnership (MSBP) with the Silo National des Graines Forestières (SNGF) at the Kew Madagascar Conservation Centre (KMCC). The MSBP aims to conserve the most endangered plant species. My current roles focus on cleaning, sorting and shipping seeds to SNGF. I also participate in the collection of seeds in the field. 

I previously worked on the Darwin yam’s project in the north of Madagascar. I undertook the inventory, monitoring and restoration of wild yam species present on the sites. During the project, I worked with more than 19 local communities in the north of Madagascar.
