What I'm looking for

I seek to contribute to biodiversity conservation and climate action through research, education, and outreach. I'm committed to honoring diversity and working with disadvantaged populations.

At Zambeze University, I design and coordinate applied research on climate change, water resources, and natural resource management. I use SWAT, RStudio, and field data to study climate trends and river-basin dynamics, and prepare technical reports and scientific outputs to inform environmental decisions.

At Agência Nacional para Controlo da Qualidade Ambiental, I contributed to a pollution-source mapping study in Chimoio that identified over 30 solid waste deposition sites along watercourses. I also monitored environmental indicators with GPS and QGIS and contributed to risk assessments and technical recommendations.

My conservation work has included elephant monitoring in Chimanimani National Park using camera traps, telemetry, and GPS, as well as community engagement and human-wildlife conflict mitigation. I seek to contribute to biodiversity conservation and climate action through research, education, and outreach, while honoring diversity and working with disadvantaged populations.
