Science Communicator | Marine Biology Expert
With a PhD in Zoology/Animal Biology from Nelson Mandela University and a strong foundation in Marine Biology from the University of KwaZulu-Natal, I have developed a robust expertise in ecological research. My postdoctoral work at Nelson Mandela University focused on larval fish communities and the environmental cues affecting their recruitment behaviors. As the Director and Founder of Geekoscopy, I leverage my scientific background to enhance science communication, aiding researchers and organizations in digital content creation and social media marketing. Additionally, I engage with the gaming community as a Professional Game Master at StartPlaying, where I run online Dungeons and Dragons sessions. My diverse experiences reflect a commitment to both scientific inquiry and innovative communication, bridging the gap between complex research and public understanding.
