I hold an MSc degree and am specialized in grasses. I have been working on this group for more than three years. I am based at Kew's Madagascar office as a botanist and have experience in field data collection, data-basing (BRAHMS), IUCN assessments, consultancy and teaching in my professional domain. As passions, I like drawings and landscape and nature photography.
