Where am I from South Africa
Languages Afrikaans 1st
I live in Soebatsfontein & Springbok, Northern Cape Province, South Africa
Current and previous works Currently I am doing an internship with Conservation South Africa (Springbok / South Africa) 2011 - 12: Internship at Ditsong National Museums of Natural History (Pretoria / South Africa) 2002 - 2010: BIOTA Southern Africa as a para-ecologist (Soebatsfontein / South Africa)
Type of work I do Conservation South Africa:
My skills and expertise Computer skills: Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, Power Point, Internet Explorer, email Entering phenological plant data into MS Excel database G.P.S (Global Positioning System) Installment and maintenance of automatic weather stations Monitoring and collection of plants and insects Use of digital photo and video cameras Taking of plant pictures for scientific purposes Identification of plants and plant names Ecology of succulents on quartz fields Facilitation of workshops Conflict management
Special interests Habitat requirements of scorpions Collecting and identifying scorpions Habitat requirements of different plant species Botany and photography
Ambitions and dreams During my work in BIOTA as para-ecologist my interest in nature and natural science has been strongly fostered. My particular interest lies in the collecting and identification of scorpions. I have closely cooperated with Dr Lorenzo Prendini from the New York Museum of Natural History who kindly identified the specimens for us and incorporated them into his scientific collection, and in the near future I want to specialize in the identification of Southern African scorpions. The experience gained during the internship with ARC/Ditsong has further increased my need to want to learn more about these creatures. I hope to continue to build my relationships with the researchers at these institutes. I feel the next step will be to be employed at one of these institutes in order to learn more and possible expand my knowledge into research.
