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.
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.
