Summary
Passion and determination to achieve my ambition to work with wildlife and in conservation. This stems from my childhood experiences in Africa where I fell in love with the bush. I chose in my gap year to invest in the first stages of my guiding qualifications at Bushwise. In November 2024 I am further investing in a FGASA trails guide qualification. My ambition is to secure an internship in early 2025 to then secure a full time position as a guide.
My mix of skills including people leadership, communication, capacity to develop and organisation combined with my determination and track record of cultural adaption is a blend that I believe is a great fit to be a successful guide.
