As a professional presenter, I am a skilled communicator and have a proven history of providing content both face to face and as online media within conservation and education. My expertise is within family entertainment, developing stories, writing scripts and producing online content, live shows and animal displays for this genre. I have spent 1 year backpacking around two continents gathering first hand information on the predicaments of our planet and ways to help. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and believe we can only help our environment through hard work, dedication and education.
