Environmental Officer at The Young People Innovation Company, advancing sustainability initiatives and community engagement.
What I'm looking for
At The Young People Innovation Company, I direct and consult on environmental sustainability initiatives and community engagement within the youth innovation ecosystem. I apply environmental management frameworks to remote projects focused on ecological sustainability and climate resilience.
At Chipembele Wildlife Education Trust, I facilitated conservation lessons for schools in the South Luangwa region and designed three-hour modules on wildlife conservation, environmental stewardship, and outdoor field activities. I also co-organized environmental campaigns with regional schools.
My work has also connected conservation with media. At Mulberry Mongoose, I managed social media platforms and produced photography for digital marketing and outreach; at MoSam Media (Samson Moyo), I assisted with lighting and shoot logistics.
