Je suis né au Zimbabwe en 1984 et j'ai obtenu un diplôme en sciences laitières en 2016 à l'université du Zimbabwe. Je suis actuellement employée par le ministère de l'agriculture du Zimbabwe en tant que spécialiste du bétail. Je m'intéresse vivement au bien-être des animaux et à la santé publique. Ce travail a été présenté à la conférence SASVEPM 2016 Capetown.
