Biography

I completed a degree in Biomedical Science-Human Biology, with the intention of bridging the gap between herbal medicines and science. I then went on to complete a masters in Medicinal Natural Products and Phytochemistry where I completed research with Eden Project and Pukka. I am now an editor for the Journal of Herbal Medicine, and have a particular interest in ethnopharmacology and pharmacognosy. I also work in the commercial world of plants, offering botanical consultancy, copywriting, lectures and talks.
