Development Coordinator, New Phytologist Foundation
- I coordinate public relations activities at the New Phytologist Foundation, developing effective and innovative initiatives for promoting the journals New Phytologist and Plants, People, Planet, increasing engagement with and disseminating research throughout the plant science community.
