I am an ESRC funded PhD student at Royal Holloway University of London in collaboration with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew studying the impact of science diplomacy on the relationship between the UK and the UK Overseas Territories. 

My research is investigating their historical connection through scientific exploration and how that is reflected in the international partnerships of the present day before then interpreting how science diplomacy can enhance the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew's partnerships with the UK Overseas Territories.
