I am Fleur, based in the UK, and I am the WildHub Conservation Catalyst Programme Co-ordinator, supporting conservation professionals to develop their writing, communication, and leadership skills through this inclusive global platform.
I hold a Master’s degree in Animal Behaviour from the University of Exeter and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Oxford Brookes University. My research background includes woodland butterflies and bumblebees, alongside a strong interest in woodland animals more broadly. I also have comprehensive knowledge and expertise in domestic rabbits and their welfare and care.
Alongside my work in conservation, I am the founder of Your Own Mum (https://www.yourownmum.co.uk/), a resource space and weekly journal supporting mothers navigating parenthood without maternal support or a traditional family network. This work draws on my background in psychology and my passion for creating thoughtful, compassionate spaces that help people feel less isolated and more understood.
I am deeply passionate about wildlife conservation, animal welfare, and meaningful communication - particularly where it brings people together on shared paths.
Caring for the Earth is as essential as protecting the organisms within it. Growing up in a community rich in natural resources, yet the lack of ecological awareness led to the vulnerability of biodiversity (flora and fauna) due to devastating environmental degradation. This sparked a pivotal shift in my career path. Instead of healing people (children) as a pediatrician, I chose to heal ecosystems as a Wildlife Biologist and Ecologist.
I am currently pursuing an MPhil in Wildlife and Range Management at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST). I have spent the last five years actively contributing to conservation efforts in Ghana. My experience spans roles at the Kumasi Zoological Gardens, Safari Valley Eco Resort (Safari Eco Park), Resource Management Support Center (RMSC), and field research at Mole National Park. I have developed interpersonal, technical, and soft skills in education, outreach, and tour guiding, wildlife Management and research, and GIS and remote sensing applications.
I am driven by the ambition to be a Voice for Wildlife, and I am eager to contribute my skills to a multidisciplinary team like the WildHub Community, where I can help protect Earth’s biodiversity. My love for wildlife and biodiversity has motivated me in every step of my career in the new phase of my life. I hope to take the right direction in fulfilling my passion of caring for wildlife and nature that nurtures us.
