My background is mainly in species conservation, education and capacity exchange. I researched mother-young interactions in gorillas and chimpanzees, in captivity and the wild. After that, I worked for three years in Indonesia, where I developed and implemented youth ambassador and community engagement programmes on local and regional scales. I co-founded WildHub, a community of nature conservation professionals, in 2020 and work as their Community Lead. I am furthermore on the Advisory Board of the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) at the University of Kent where I obtained my PhD on capacity development for conservation in 2022.

Safari-trained. Biodiversity-obsessed. I’ve lived in 6 countries, worked across e-commerce, mobility, hospitality, and NGOs and led a team through the chaos of COVID in tourism. Quarter-life crisis hit. Eco-anxiety followed. So I quit the corporate path and went all in on nature. In 2025, I gave a TEDx talk on Impact Millionaires & how to become one at MIT in Boston. In 2026? I want to help you grow your nature mission. 🌿 Apply for the next Ecopreneur Beginner Bootcamp: https://wildya.earth 💌 Or just shoot me a DM. I don’t bite.
