I studied Animal Biology with a focus on Wildlife Conservation at the University of Gloucestershire, during which I travelled to South Africa for the first time and further developed my longstanding passion for conservation. Following my studies, I worked with EarthRanger, where I was responsible for onboarding, training and supporting sites across Africa in using the software to better understand and manage protected areas. Being bilingual in English and French enabled me to work with teams across the continent.

I have now joined the IUCN SSC Centre for Species Survival Cats team as a Species Survival Officer, working closely with the Cat Specialist Group to support the coordination of IUCN Red List assessments, facilitate workshops for drafting Conservation Strategies, and contribute to the development of the Cat Conservation Curriculum.
