I am an anthropologist, humanitarian, writer and traveller. My research interests include ayahuasca, Amazonian shamanism, bioprospecting, environmental conservation and relationships between Indigenous peoples and the environment. I have been awarded a Canada Graduate Scholarship -Master’s (CGS-M) from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). The title of my proposed Master’s thesis project is “The Implications of Bioprospecting on Indigenous Peoples in Ecuador’s Amazonia”. I am a Content Strategist & Project Coordinator at the Morobe Development Foundation Inc. in Papua New Guinea (PNG). I am currently working on research papers and project development related to human rights, women’s rights, gender based violence in PNG and non governmental organization (NGO) implementation of international and PNG policy in relation to these topics. I am also working with established NGOs and activists in PNG to develop a national human and women’s rights collective.
