The Story So Far
How Did I End Up Doing This? (Of All Things!)
What is a “Wildlife Conservation Strategist”?
All my talents and experience for the sake of animals, naturally. Here’s the gist of it:
My two passions are wildlife conservation and writing. My work is focused online, mainly for SMBs. Being a content creator & traveler who loves to volunteer for animals, I found myself developing initiatives that allow me to combine all my favorite gifts.
While traveling I often meet like-minded individuals and that’s a huge relief. Getting to know people who care about animals and nature, and know we’re all in this together.
Volunteering at rescue/rehab centers and conservation facilities, learning from people who lead conservation work is such a privilege!
One of my traveling goals is to feel part of the worldly community who contributes to wildlife conservation efforts. I’m in awe of the wonderful people I meet all over the world!
These encounters are truly inspiring and heartwarming, and let me tell you – there are plenty of people who care out there.
I’m in constant search for fruitful collaborations for the sake of animals and nature – if you share this passion and sentiment, we might meet someday too!

My Mission
- Make people care about animals.
- Connect people who care about animals worldwide so we can work together for the purpose of wildlife conservation.
- End illegal wildlife trade and ultimately – legal trade as well. We are currently trading animals to extinction, it has to stop.
