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.

I joined WildHub because of my passion for environmental conservation and my interest in connecting with like-minded individuals who are dedicated to protecting and preserving our planet's biodiversity. I have a degree in veterinary medicine and a deep-rooted interest in One Health approaches that recognize the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health. My experiences in veterinary medicine have underscored the importance of holistic approaches to conservation that consider the health of both wildlife and human populations. Additionally, I have been a lifelong fan of wildlife, and I am eager to deepen my understanding of this field through engagement with the vibrant community here on WildHub. I believe that by fostering collaboration and sharing knowledge, we can work towards a more sustainable and harmonious relationship with the natural world.

I am a bats researcher based in Kenya expert in collecting, analysing and reporting data regarding conservation.

As a graduate of Environmental Science, my background equips me with the requisite skills in hydrology, ecology, Wildlife Management, Environmental Impact Assessment among other fields. My skillset includes but not limited to; Communication skills, Teamwork, Knowledge Sharing, Critical Thinking, Problem-solving, and interpersonal skills. In my current role as an Assistant Environmentalist at Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), I have been actively involved in environmental monitoring and auditing, developing and implementing environmental management systems, and interpreting field requirements. My responsibilities also include generating environmental progress reports and ensuring compliance with environmental standards, which have equipped me with a solid understanding of field methods and diagnostic tools. I am also committed to professional excellence and continuous learning, as evidenced by my participation in several professional training programs, including workshops on Integrated Water Resources Management and GIS fundamentals. Why WildHub? It is a free to join platform is an enabler for conservation activities and ideas that are otherwise not realised in our day to day work. It also provides opportunities for teamwork in conservation as you interact with like-minded environmental champions through trainings, conservation activities and even through job opportunities

I have a doctorate in wildlife sciences and forestry. My specialization has always been landscape and community ecology and I focussed on the guild of carnivores to understand the same in my PhD. I invested in ornithology to overcome stress and am very vocal about walking in the jungle in the company of birds for good mental health. Currently, I am handling a few projects under the PSP portfolio where I am looking into safeguards for linear infrastructure and also for the conservation of small cats. I love writing especially about nature, interdisciplinary connections of the same, and policy to practice.
