After completing my MSc studying Black Rhino ecology, I joined Wildlife ACT to gain some real-world conservation experience. I completely fell in love with the team, the work and the bush and have never looked back!
I have grown up with a love of nature and the outdoors however when I was younger I never dreamed that I could make a career out of it! After completing my MSc in Global Wildlife Health and Conservation, studying the impacts of dehorning on Black Rhino ecology, I completed my field guiding course in Pilanesberg National Park. It was here that I realised that I was happiest in the bush but that I wanted to be more involved in the direct conservation of wildlife.
I then started working with Wildlife ACT as a Priority Species Monitor and have not looked back since. I am incredibly privileged to be able to contribute to real-world conservation by combining fieldwork, community conservation and research and I feel lucky every day to be able to do a job that I am so passionate about with such a supportive and dedicated team around me.
