I am an interdisciplinary PhD candidate with NERC’s Edinburgh Earth, Ecology and Environment Doctoral Training Partnership (E4 DTP) at the University of Edinburgh and a Co-Lead of the Deep-Ocean Stewardship Initiative’s BBNJ Working Group.
My research investigates science-society-policy interfaces and the use of science in international marine biodiversity governance processes, including the new international agreement for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ). In particular, I am interested in the science-policy-practice nexus and the operationalisation of knowledge-based governance under a future BBNJ agreement.
Prior to undertaking a PhD, I worked as a Research Assistant and Marine Policy Project Manager with the Horizon 2020 ATLAS and iAtlantic projects, where I investigated the science-policy nexus of deep and open ocean biodiversity governance. I hold an undergraduate degree with a double major in Law and Human Rights and a Master of Science in Marine Systems and Policies.
