She further heads up all local, regional and international mining and prospecting projects within the organisation and further develops strategic partnerships for the organisation’s anti-corruption, governance and legal policy initiatives within the sectors.

Within her time at Corruption Watch she has published two research reports which focused on anti-corruption remedies, governance, sustainability and legal policy in the mining sector.
