What I'm looking for

I seek roles that combine conservation and client engagement, with opportunities for growth, cross-cultural teamwork, and meaningful impact.

I am a multilingual professional with over two years of experience across childcare, media, customer engagement, and wildlife tourism, having worked in South Africa, the Netherlands, and Belgium. I founded a wildlife tourism consultancy where I designed the business model, developed service offerings, and led marketing and operations.

My background includes hands-on childcare as an au pair, social media management, and radio presenting, which reinforced my communication, event coordination, and client engagement skills. I have volunteered regularly at a wildlife orphanage, educating children on conservation and assisting with animal care and rehabilitation.

I am recognized for cultural adaptability, relationship-building, and entrepreneurial drive, and I am willing to relocate to further develop sustainable tourism partnerships and client-focused experiences.
