“I have always been involved in nature in some way or another. I was brought up in a small town and often visited reserves and spent many days riding horses on long trips cross country. The conservation bug has always been sneaking around in my life.
I am an ambassador for The Expedition project and currently living in the North West province, South Africa.”
