Science Collections

I curate all plant specimens from Asia, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. My curation duties in the herbarium are to organise and incorporate specimens into the collection, rearrange the collection according to new revisions, identify specimens from New Guinea, deal with specimen loans and requests, digitise specimens and supervise volunteers and visitors to the herbarium. I also provide research support within Kew and I carry out teaching and public engagement activities to contribute to the Strategic Output 'Science in the Gardens'.
