Her expertise spans French and Spanish, with project experience in Chile, Dominica, Ecuador, France, Indonesia, Reunion Island, Vanuatu, and the UK.
Her research interests center on environmental justice, climate change, and disaster risk management in coastal communities. She employs Q-methodology to analyze social values and perceptions in conservation contexts, advocating for equitable solutions in marine policy.

In grants and partnerships, she has secured funding from NERC, ESRC, and AHRC for projects like 'Coastal Transformations and Fisher Wellbeing' and 'Historical Trajectories of Disaster Risk in Small Island Developing States'. Her publications emphasize the intersection of social resilience, fisheries governance, and policy reforms. She is actively involved in global environmental justice initiatives and has advised on wildlife trade agreements and ethical sourcing standards for European retailers.
