I am a wildlife ecologist and Field Ecology Technician for Karingani Game Reserve in southern Mozambique, where I lead comprehensive wildlife monitoring programs, conduct data analysis, and manage predator census surveys. My career spans conservation projects across Southern Africa—including Namibia, South Africa, Malawi, and Mozambique— primarily focused on wild dogs, leopards, hyenas, cheetahs, and rhinos. With a BSc in Wildlife Management and Conservation Ecology from West Virginia University and an MSc in Conservation Biology from the University of Cape Town, I bring expertise in carnivore population dynamics and landscape movement drivers. I am skilled in collaborative research and stakeholder engagement, ensuring data-driven, sustainable conservation strategies. As Karingani’s Digital Media Manager, I also produce content for outreach, manage social media, and support fundraising and community initiatives, promoting conservation both locally and internationally.
