Experience
Education guide
I was delegated the responsibility of guiding school pupils inside the aquarium and educate them about marine biology and conservation. I also conducted lessons outside the aquarium, topics included, biodiversity and pollution. For some children it was their first time seeing marine animals, this presented me an opportunity to providing new information and expand their knowledge and career choices
Volunteer
Oversaw the preparation and curation of several specimen consignment from West Africa. Lead the “make-over” of the mammal department’s wet collection holding at least 5000 mammal specimens. Trained new volunteers, as well as fully inventorying and data-basing the entire ichthyology collection as part of the Generally Recognised Accounting Practices (GRAP 103) for the accounting of natural heritage collections
