KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a qualified naturalist with a BSc in Ecotourism and Hospitality Management and over seven years of combined field, museum education, and online freelance experience. I blend conservation fieldwork—bird monitoring, species identification, and environmental education—with strong organizational, reporting, and visitor-guidance skills.
As a seasoned online freelancer I perform data collection, object annotation, labelling, transcription, captioning, and multilingual translation (English, Kiswahili, Luo). I am adaptable, quick to learn, comfortable with or without supervision, and eager to apply my technical and people-facing strengths in roles that offer growth.
