I am a qualified agronomist with a background on conservation horticulture with 19 years of experience at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew.  I specialized in propagation and cultivation of woody plant specie and  implemented a seed conservation program for the most threatened species at RBG Kew.  I have trained and mentored horticultural students through my career.  Currently, I develop and implement  plant conservation initiatives with a focus in the Latin American region.
