ACLN Cohort 4

Who is someone who's inspired your leadership, and why?

Colleen Begg of Niassa Carnivore Project inspires me as a leader. She leads with empathy and compassion and is passionate about giving opportunities to those that might not otherwise get.

What motivates you to do your job?

What motivates me get out of bed each day and do my job is knowing that my work has an impact (no matter how small) on the lives of our communities and wildlife and other people that are inspired by my work.

What piece of advice would you give to an aspiring leader in African conservation?

Some days will not be as good as others but just keep focusing on your goals and your vision and putting you best foot forward and bringing your very best each day and you will eventually get to where you want to, but remember you will not get there by yourself, you will need others to encourage you and motivate you and don't forget to Pay It Forward.
