Born and raised in Zimbabwe with a background in office management, Dee was able to change her course of direction and turned towards education and conservation when she moved to the UK. Dee has worked though Countryside Management Level 3 and did her BSc in Animal Science at the Univeristy of Reading. She followed a path into Lecturing in Environmental conservation and Countryside Management and was one of the founding members of Watatunga Wildlife Reserve near Kings Lynn. 

With a passion for conservation and animal welfare, Dee is committed to making a positive impact on the environment and the world around us. She is especially fond of deer and newts and is currently working towards her Great Crested Newt Survey license. Her aim one day is to gain her PhD in anything related to the environment and conservation. 

In her free time Dee likes to read; watch the Springboks play rugby or go looking for wildlife or interesting things to photograph.
