Diversified models for conservation,
one opportunity at a time.
I believe in building a global conservation economy that places strong emphasis on the sustainable and inclusive use of natural resources. This is an alternative approach to systems that prioritise economic growth and development at the expense of the environment. It ensures that resources are not depleted, that landscapes and biodiversity are protected, and that people locally are positively impacted.
About me
I’m the lead behind Conservation Economy Solutions, a consulting business where my passion for conservation meets my solution-oriented entrepreneurial mindset. With a purpose-driven approach firmly centered on people, I specialize in facilitating project development, fostering effective communications, and forging productive partnerships to make a positive impact in our world.
