I’m a Trinidadian marine biologist specialising in deep-sea biology. I study the weird and wonderful animals living in a range of deep-sea habitats and how our actions are impacting them. I am currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellow at the Natural History Museum, London, UK, having recently completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, USA. I’ve participated in deep-sea expeditions around the world and have an extensive science communication and outreach record. I’m also a co-founder of the non-profit NGO, SpeSeas, dedicated to increasing marine science, education and advocacy in Trinidad and Tobago and the wider Caribbean.
