Research Autobiography I am an environmental professional with over a decade of experience in environmental health, safety, and conducting environmental impact assessments. Currently, I am pursuing a Master of Science in Integrated Environmental Management at the University of Dar es Salaam, building on my Bachelor’s degree in Geography and Environmental Studies. My professional journey has shaped my deep interest in biodiversity conservation and ecological sustainability. This has driven my research focus on assessing the impacts of Lantana camara on soil physicochemical properties and floristic composition in Pande Game Reserve, Tanzania. Through this research, I aim to contribute actionable insights to support the management of invasive species and the protection of natural ecosystems. My work reflects a commitment to addressing complex environmental challenges through evidence-based solutions, interdisciplinary approaches, and a long-term vision for sustainable environmental management.
