I have always believed that kindness should extend to every living being. My love for animals and nature is not just a passion. It is a part of who I am. I care deeply about Animal Rights, Welfare, and Wildlife Conservation, and I do whatever I can to make this world a gentler and safer place for them. Whether it is raising awareness or supporting meaningful causes, I try to play my part with heart and purpose. Professionally, I have grown as an Executive Assistant and Administrative Specialist with hands-on experience across different sectors and cultures. Over the years, I have worked closely with senior leadership teams in Technology, Business, and Higher Education, always striving to be dependable, professional, and calm under pressure. I have earned an Advanced Certificate in Executive Assistance from BMTG UK Ltd which reflects my dedication to this profession. I have also completed several training programs focused on workplace excellence and strong organizational skills. These skills help me adapt to change and keep things running smoothly in today’s fast-paced world. My work often involves managing international travel, planning both virtual and on-site events, and handling communication, immigration, and hospitality tasks. I approach each of these with care and a personal touch. I also write professionally, preparing internal communications and business correspondence with clarity and precision. This has helped me build a reputation for being trustworthy, effective, and committed to high standards. What truly keeps me going is my willingness to learn and grow. I believe that every day is an opportunity to do better, not just at work, but in how we treat others, especially those who do not have a voice. This journey of compassion, hard work, and lifelong learning is what I carry forward, wherever I go and whatever I do.

I am the project coordinator of the Wildlife Forensic Fund. We help combat wildlife crime by funding the training of first responders to preserve evidence and take them to court successfully. We are eager to connect with wildlife forensics enthusiasts.

Hi, my name is Maike. Born and raised in South Germany, I am now located in the Netherlands (just moved a few months ago).  My life took a few detours before I ended up here, but they broaden the horizon, right? ;-) Early on, I had two big interests in life: Books and Nature.  First, I explored the first one, books, and completed vocational training in a bookshop. Then, I went to school again to be able to explore the second one, nature, by studying Biology. Well, and then I discovered the realm of sustainability and followed my studies up with the Master's program "Science in Sustainable Development" in Sweden. During that time, I focused especially on corporate sustainability but also the biodiversity aspect of sustainability.  Currently, I am working in a company, as a sustainability business controller but am always looking for a way to integrate nature, conservation and biodiversity more in my personal and professional life.  I am not yet sure where the journey will lead me, but I want to connect with like-minded people and explore opportunities.  Happy and excited to be part of this community!
