Hello Everyone :) My field is in Interior Architecture from the accredited Columbia College Chicago, with most of my years with small design/build firms here in the PNW. I'm now freelancing so I can build Wildlifeel at Home - a blog and design studio centered around 'conservation-based design/build practices' - so I can help change my industry from within. I seek to create homes in such a way that allows wildlife to keep theirs, too, because one home no longer needs to be sacrificed for the other to thrive. I also live off-grid in a small one-room cabin on acreage in the foothills of a national park. I care for the woodland creatures, the food forest, endless evergreens, fish laden creeks, wildlife meadows and more. I'm here to make long-lasting friendships and to learn from the many other conservationists on WildHub! 

I have been dealing with chemical-free production systems, organic farming and the issue of biodiversity for a decade. I run a bird nest station on my own farm, where I research the possibilities of cooperation between birds and people. During my work, I developed an agricultural production system that uses the ecosystem services of birds to help implement agroecological practices while making the landscape healthier. It was named the bird-human cooperation system. My goal is to create a win-win relationship that realizes the long-term sustainable use of land and landscape, with particular attention to agricultural production systems.

With a passion for nature-based solutions and a personal mission to help accelerate the transition to more sustainable people-environment interactions, my current work and volunteering is dedicated to biodiversity, conservation and remediation projects. My recent research aims to better understand and encourage employees' pro-environmental/ green behaviours and valorisation of residues.

With training in wildlife conservation and community development, my expertise lies in community engagement works for conservation initiatives. I am interested in promoting community-based natural resources management (CBNRM) initiatives that address both environmental and socio-economic goals in communities that live close to protected areas and in connectivity pathways for long-ranged wild animals, with full participation of the resource custodians and users. I am an experienced social-ecologist with 15 years of grounded experience in CBNRM-related work focusing on human-wildlife conflict management, establishing and empowering community-based organizations, and promotion of sustainable livelihoods projects in the Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Zambia (ZiMoZa) transboundary region, the South East Lowveld region of Zimbabwe, the Hwange Matetsi Zambezi ecosystem found in Kavango Zambezi (KAZA) TFCA and the Malawi – Zambia (MAZA) TFCA.
