Growing up in a farming community, I developed a deep love for fishing, spending countless hours catching yellowfish and bass. This passion led me to discover Ichthyology at Rhodes University, where I pursued it as my life's work. Now, I'm dedicated to studying dusky kob using acoustic telemetry, combining my love for fishing with scientific research to better understand and conserve fish populations.
