As a botany graduate and plant biologist who loves research, I'm driven by a passion for preserving our planet's precious natural resources. My experience spans across the Ministry of Environment and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture and I've honed my expertise in: Environmental data management and impact assessments, Project implementation, Data collection and analysis, Agronomy, Breeding to mention but a few. I've had the privilege of working on projects sponsored by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, EC-JRC in collaboration with Wageningen University, Netherlands and other esteemed organizations. I aim to connect the dots between research, practice and outcomes to advance science while driving positive change through innovative research, collaboration and sustainable practices.

I am an Ecologist deeply passionate about understanding the behavioural strategies small mammals use to survive in seasonally food-restricted environments. I completed my Master’s degree in Behavioral Ecology at the University of Witwatersrand, where my research was on the behavior of bush Karoo rats (Otomys unisulcatus) in Namaqualand, South Africa. My study focused on the "plantong" these rodents collect, exploring whether this behavior is an adaptive response to seasonal harshness or simply a by-product of their foraging activities. This research was driven by my desire to uncover how these food specialists manage to thrive in the challenging conditions of the Succulent Karoo semi-deserts. I have also touched base on a few things: looking at how acacia trees influence grass species around them, using biocontrol agent for plants that are invasive to freshwater systems, rangeland ecology, reforestation of forest back to their natural state, land use by small mammals, using camera traps to understand behavior and diurnal range of small mammals. Something interesting about me is that I always look like I am angry/frowning, trust me I am not. It’s just  that I’m bit sensitive to bright light.

Hello  Wildhub community, I am excited to join this community, Thank you for accepting me. I am a legal officer working in the conservation sector. I am an advocate for wildlife conservation, gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) community engagements  and development. My experience  working  as  a legal officer  and a conservationist and engagement with host communities  around the Park has helped shaped my perception on conservation. It has helped me realise the need to strike a balance between protecting and conserving  biodiversity and the interest of indigenous  communities around the  park. Also the role indigenious knowledge and rural women play in nature conservancy.
