I joined the museum team immediately after completing my biology degree. I started out in the supervision and education team. Since 2017, I have been responsible for the zoological collection at the Natural History Museum and thus for its preservation and maintenance.
Ensuring accessibility for teaching and research and maintaining the database are also an important part of the collection work. I find it fascinating to see the wealth of information the collection holds for current and future generations of researchers, and how new techniques can reveal ever finer layers.
