Caleigh Berry

I am a 19-year-old full-time student currently in my second year of the Diploma in Nature Conservation at Nelson Mandela University. My journey into conservation stems from a childhood passion, and I have developed critical academic writing skills through practical studies that require scientific reporting. Despite facing challenges with ADHD, I have excelled in my modules, demonstrating my dedication and hard work.

In addition to my studies, I am an online business owner, selling secondhand and thrifted clothes through Instagram and Yaga, which has allowed me to gain valuable entrepreneurial experience over the past three years. I have also worked as a bartender/server at Kings Park Stadium, where my friendly service earned me recognition as one of the highest-earning staff members in tips. Furthermore, I have experience as a self-employed pet sitter, showcasing my responsibility and care for animals.
