She leads strategy development and implementation for the cocoa sector in West Africa, empowering cocoa and chocolate companies, governments, and other stakeholders with monitoring solutions.

Previously, she worked with the National Park Agency of Gabon and a global timber company to produce timber best practice guidelines for the buffer zones surrounding Gabon’s national parks. She also spent a summer working with the World Wildlife Fund’s Global Forest and Trade Network program, where she conducted research on integrating payment for ecosystem service schemes into timber production forests.
