Welcome to my personal webpage!!
I am an Ethnobotanist and this website explains my work as a researcher, lecturer and consultant. The aim of the website is to serve as an outreach tool to connect me with diverse audiences that may be interested in my work.
Ethnobotany is the science that studies the relationship between plants and people across cultures (Ethnobotany introduction). I have been trained as Ethnobotanist at the University of Kent and then carried out my PhD at the School of Pharmacy , University of London.
My research has focused on the management of a famine food plant in Mexico, on the pharmacopoiea used in the medical system of an indigenous group in Southern Mexico, and on traditional ecological knowledge in the Bolivian Amazon. More
