I am an environmental professional with a strong background in community engagement, stakeholder coordination, and environmental project management. With extensive experience leading multidisciplinary teams and managing project timelines, I have successfully delivered environmental and social compliance initiatives across Botswana, including serving as the Environmental Control Officer for the Mohembo Okavango Bridge construction from 2018 to 2022. My involvement close collaboration with government authorities, sub-contractors, and diverse community groups, particularly in sensitive ecosystems such as the Okavango Delta, where I contributed to safeguarding the World Heritage and RAMSAR Site standards through rigorous monitoring, reporting, and mitigation planning. Currently operating as an independent environmental consultant, I combine my specialist expertise in environmental management with broad knowledge across several thematic areas working with technical specialists, stakeholder engagement, and project management. I hold a BSc in Zoology and Environmental Science from the University of Arkansas, a Postgraduate Diploma in Biodiversity, Wildlife and Ecosystem Health from the University of Edinburgh, and additional training in Social Impact Assessment, Project Management, and GIS.
My conservation journey began working directly with communities to promote coexistence with wildlife. My passion lies in empowering people to see themselves as partners in conservation, protecting the spaces and species we share. I hope to deepen my skills, learn from fellow conservationists, and contribute to a future where both people and nature thrive.
