I'm originally from France but I currently live in the UK.
During my first masters in International Studies, Cutlure, Conflicts and Peace in Montréal, Canada, I have worked with rehabilitated elephants in Thailand and studied the intricate link between tourism / ecotourism, wildlife conservation and the needs of local people.
I then pursued a second master in Primate Conservation at Oxford Brookes University, UK, to specialise in primates. I worked with gibbons in a rescue centre in India.

For the past 15 months, I've also been managing the social media accounts and creating digital content for a UK-based charity raising awareness on the situation of elephants in Thailand and Asia, especially elephants involved in tourism.
I'm passionate about wildlife, wildlife conservation, primates and elephants, and I have a deep interest in matters such as wildlife trade, wildlife tourism and local communities. I also love chocolate, Iearning languages, listening to music (and of course dancing and singing, my neighbours must be delighted) and I'm an expert at folding sheets (it's a rare skill to have, I know).
I am currently looking for job opportunities in conservation, even though it's on hold at the moment because of the global pandemic.

Hello Lauren!
That first masters sounds like an intersting and useful one to have!
I recently learnt how to fold fitted sheets! Also, I learnt to fold lots of different items of clothes, I can thank this lockdown for this skill. Hehe.
Welcome Lauren! Great to have you board! We are preparing a new activity, named WildHub Fika, which may be of interest to you. It will be a fun way to get to know other community members and hopefully you will find out about job opportunities this way too!
PS I also did an interview with the founder of CCI's Fika group, Lindsey Elliott, please find it here.
