Profile:

I have been very fortunate in my life to have had some amazing experiences. I have been lucky enough to travel overseas and experience a lot of countries and their unique cultures. Working for a scuba diving school, I dived in many fantastic places, I have swum with dolphins, dived with Ragged Tooth and Whale sharks. I have White-Water rafted, Sky-dived and abseiled. I was a professional photographer and owned my own business for 8 years. However, I have always known that my heart and passion lay in the bush! I eventually decided to follow my dream and did the Inkwazi ranger training at Phinda. I was subsequently sent to Madikwe Safari Lodge Private Game Reserve in 2005 where the amazing diversity was a great way to start my career - I loved every minute! I was then offered the job with my fiancé Anthony Tranter, to train rangers in East Africa. We are currently based at Kleins Camp in the North Eastern section of the Serengeti National Park, where we travel around to all the lodges in East Africa. I am a very keen wildlife photographer and love every minute that I spend in the bush.
