Why is Wild Tomorrow Fund’s mission (saving wildlife and wild places) important to you?

Some of the most meaningful moments of my life have taken place in wild, natural places. Coming from a globally-rooted family, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for diverse environments and a strong understanding of how interconnected ecosystems are with communities around the world. Wild Tomorrow Fund’s mission resonates deeply with me—especially as part of the next generation—because I believe in the urgent need to protect, restore, and rewild our planet’s wild places for generations to come.

How will you put your skills to work to help save wildlife?

With a background in marketing and a deep passion for the environment, I bring experience in strategic communication, brand development, partnership engagement, and sustainable marketing. I aim to use these skills to raise awareness, strengthen support, and inspire action around the protection of wildlife and the communities that depend on them.

What is your favorite wild moment?

My favorite wild moment was hiking and camping along the Eastern Cape of South Africa, where I witnessed whales breaching in the open ocean—completely surrounded by nothing but water and sky. I saw them each day on that hike, and yet the sight never ceased to amaze me. That experience filled me with awe and helped shape my desire to dedicate my career to protecting wildlife and amplifying its profound importance to human life.

What do you like to do when you’re not at work?

Outside of work, I love running, cycling, hiking new trails, and singing. These activities recharge me—and much like being in nature, they bring me joy.
