Summary
I'm based in the NHM Science Directorate where I work on policy and communication. I aim to ensure that we communicate the value, interest and relevance of our science to specialist and wider audiences, securing support and collaboration. I work with NHM scientists on developing evidence and expertise to inform and engage with policy development for government and other users in areas such as biodiversity, natural resource management, genetic resources and cultural policy. I have strong interests in UK collaboration, international engagement, science in society and ethics.
