From a young age, my fascination with wildlife grew into a lifelong obsession, and wildlife programs became my window into some of the planet’s most remarkable natural habitats. Over time, I not only fell in love with the animals, but also with the communities and individuals dedicated to protecting them. I’ve taken every opportunity to get involved — from creating specialized programs for children in hospitals in Uganda to help them connect with wildlife, to developing rescue equipment used in real field operations.
Working extensively with Simone Karlowski, who has become a true partner in these conservation efforts, we’ve designed various rescue bags for primates, crocodiles, and other species. I have also worked closely with James Hennessey from the National Reptile Zoo in Ireland, who has supported me and, in many ways, acted as a mentor throughout the years. His guidance and shared passion for wildlife conservation have been invaluable.
