I am a Field Extension Officer at the Forestry and Agricultural Biotechnology Institute (FABI) with qualifications in Forestry and Agriculture. I hold a National Diploma in Forestry from Nelson Mandela University and a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture from the University of KwaZulu-Natal.

My professional experience includes the Forester in Training (FIT) programme within Mondi Group operations, work with Njojo Construction, and service as an Intern at Forestry South Africa supporting the Forestry Graduates Employment Programme (F-GEP). I have gained broad exposure across forestry operations in South Africa and Swaziland, working with organizations such as Mondi, Sonae Arauco, and Sappi contractors.

I am passionate about sustainable forestry, environmental stewardship, and effective extension services, and I am committed to supporting responsible land-use practices through field-based engagement and continuous learning.
