I joined Kew as an intern in May 2015, working on the Guinea-Conakry TIPAs (Tropical Important Plant Areas) project. This was followed by a couple of months in the Plant Assessment Unit, writing IUCN Red List assessments for threatened plants in Cameroon. I then worked for two and a half years on the Mozambique TIPAs project, before starting my current role as curator-botanist in November 2019.
