I was born in northern Zululand in the small town of Manguzi, KwaZulu-Natal. My homestead is situated just outside of Tembe Elephant Park, and I grew up waking up to the sounds of elephants trumpeting and the morning roars of lions.
After finishing my Matriculation, I got the opportunity to work as a Community Rhino Ambassador - later known as Environmental Monitors with Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife. During that period I was fortunate enough to be part of Rhino Conservation work at Tembe Elephant Park. It was during that period where my love for Conservation was born, and I started enrolling for Conservation studies.
In 2020 I obtained my National Diploma in Nature Conservation with University of South Africa (UNISA), and later obtained the Advanced Diploma in Nature Conservation with Mangosuthu University of Technology.While in Tembe Elephant Park as an Environmental Monitor, I worked closely with the Ecological Advice Team and that has taught me so much about significance of Nature and its conservation. I am grateful to finally join Wildlife ACT in Southern Berg in helping to conserve our most Endangered and Priority Species.
