I am an interdisciplinary PhD candidate with NERC’s Edinburgh Earth, Ecology and Environment Doctoral Training Partnership (E4 DTP) at the University of Edinburgh.
My research investigates science-society-policy interfaces and the use of science in international marine biodiversity governance processes, including the ongoing negotiations to finalise a new international agreement for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ). In particular, I am interested in the science-policy-practice nexus and the operationalisation of evidence-based governance under a future BBNJ agreement.
I am the Co-Lead of the Deep-Ocean Stewardship Initiative’s BBNJ Working Group, an early career fellow with the H2020 iAtlantic Project, and the Science-Policy Officer for the Centre for Adapting to Changing Environments (ACE) at the University of Edinburgh.
Prior to undertaking a PhD, I worked as a Research Assistant with the Horizon 2020 ATLAS project where I investigated the science-policy nexus of deep and open ocean biodiversity governance and as a Marine Policy Project Manager with the Horizon 2020 iAtlantic project. I hold an undergraduate degree with a double major in Law and Human Rights and a Master of Science in Marine Systems and Policies.
