My area of interest in primate behaviors, not only because I have a background in zoology and conservation but also as someone who spent most of my time with primates. Moreover, I have some skills related to people vs wildlife conflict around PAs. currently, I'm working as a research assistant in mountain gorilla behavior data collection at Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund | Rwanda.

I have experience working on environmental and sustainable natural resources management particularly in developing countries contexts with Tanzanian Government, Local and International Non-Governmental Organizations. This encompasses field experience working with local communities on array of issues including advocating for pastoral rights, policy support, capacity building, sustainable management of natural capital and on climate change issues affecting rural producers in developing countries as well as experiences in international platforms, fora and networks. I am currently a program manager in research and development projects with peace for conservation (November 2018 to date). I worked with the College of African Wildlife Management, Mweka in Tanzania as an assistant lecturer (March 2006 to November 2018) With a combination of a Master of Science Degree in Land Management, specializing in ecological conservation from Cranfield University, I have developed skill sets that enable understanding of challenges including development challenges facing countries in an environment where resource scarcity is increasing, population is rising and climate becoming more variable. My current career focus include: • Sustainable land management & arresting land degradation with communities (local/traditional knowledge, priorities and aspirations) • Working with local communities, national and international governments and organizations on climate change adaptation • Climate change mitigation with a focus on low carbon development • Coordinating policy issues around responsible governance of tenure and informed decision-making as a basis for sustainable development. I am also committed to contributing to a body of knowledge and data that will contribute to the realization of Agenda 2030.

I am a Conservation Biologist actively looking for a job. Protecting wildlife is what drives me. I dedicated a large portion of my life learning about Conservation Biology and working as a volunteer in order to help non-profit organisations save habitats and threatened species. I've worked in the field and in the office with various people of various backgrounds. I've done surveys, monitoring, risk assessments, public engagement, woodland and grassland management, and GIS analysis and mapping. I'm specialised in birds, however, the work that I've done also involved other groups like amphibians, reptiles, mammals (rodents and bats) and plants. I'm actively looking for an opportunity to use my skills for nature conservation and/or to educate the public about wildlife and its importance.
