I am a dedicated and passionate Environmental Sciences graduate, holding a Bachelor of Environmental Sciences degree from the University of Venda. At 25 years old, I bring fresh energy and a strong academic foundation, complemented by hands-on experience within the Biodiversity and Conservation – Wildlife Economy Directorate at the Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment (DFFE), South Africa.
My current role has provided me with valuable exposure to sustainable development practices, conservation planning, and the implementation of biodiversity-related programmes. I am particularly passionate about contributing to a greener, more sustainable future through effective environmental management, community empowerment, and promoting the socio-economic potential of the wildlife economy.
I am a fast learner, results-driven, and committed to continuous growth. I thrive in dynamic, collaborative environments and aim to make a meaningful impact wherever I work. My goal is to contribute towards environmental sustainability, responsible natural resource management, and inclusive economic development in South Africa and beyond.
