I hold a BSc in Wildlife Management from Sokoine University of Agriculture, where I built a strong foundation in ecology and conservation science. I spent over three years with the Greater Mahale Ecosystem Research and Conservation (GMERC), collecting behavioral and ecological data on wild chimpanzees, yellow baboons, and red-tailed monkeys. This field experience deepened my interest in primate behavior, habitat use, and adaptation to changing environments. As a Tanzanian researcher, I am passionate about advancing primate ecology and supporting community-based conservation initiatives that involve and benefit local people. My goal is to contribute scientific knowledge that strengthens conservation efforts in Tanzania
