A graduate of Midlands State University with a degree in Tourism and Hospitality Management, Pamela began her conservation journey in 2017 as an intern at Aquila Private Game Reserve in South Africa, where she cared for an orphaned baby rhino. She later became a Wildlife Ranger Instructor at Akashinga, training over 100 women to become professional rangers — including the first female ranger cohort in Mozambique.

In 2022, she transitioned into community work, serving as Deputy Community Supervisor and leading projects focused on infrastructure, education, women’s empowerment, and conservation awareness. Now in a senior administrative role, she also contributes to organisational decision-making and supports ranger welfare initiatives, including Akashinga’s early-stage mental health programmes.

Pamela is currently pursuing a Master of Science in Strategic Management at Chinhoyi University and aspires to become Akashinga’s first female General Reserve Manager. She is a passionate advocate for conservation, environmental education, and frontline worker wellbeing.
