I am a Masters of Science graduate with extensive research, fieldwork, data collection, data analysis and skills and academic training from the University of Witwatersrand (WITS). I am fascinated by conservation, climate change and sustainability. I did a project that looked how plants are responding to the changing seasonal conditions which are largely affected by climate change. I have experience in GIS operations.
