I have worked at BGCI since 2003. I presently work on policy issues connected with the Global Strategy for Plant Conservation and Access and Benefit Sharing. I provide the Secretariat to the Global Partnership for Plant Conservation and support the European Botanic Gardens Consortium. I am co-editor of BGCI’s BGjournal. Before joining BGCI, I worked on plant genetic resource issues in a number of countries, including Nepal, Australia and Barbados.
