Senior lecturer, specialist poultry veterinarian, University of Pretoria I started my veterinary career in rural development work in Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal during the 1990s, then moved into the poultry sector from 1998 when I started work as a full-time post-graduate student at the University of Pretoria completing my BVSc (hons) and MSc degrees. Between 2000 and 2010 I worked as Senior Lecturer and Head of the Section of Poultry Health at Onderstepoort. In 2010 I joined Avimune – a veterinary practice specializing in veterinary consulting services to the Southern African poultry sector. In 2012 I became a member of the American College of Poultry Veterinarians (ACPV) which recognizes specialist poultry veterinarians in that country. Since 2012 I have been the managing partner at Avimune and worked as a consulting veterinarian for a variety of small and medium-sized poultry producers across Southern Africa. In October 2023 I rejoined the University of Pretoria as a senior lecturer on a part-time basis. I also serve as treasurer of the Poultry Veterinarians group and as advisor to the South African Poultry Association on disease control issues.

PhD candidate, Swansea University I am interested in large-scale biogeographic patterns and the underlying mechanisms and processes. Species' dispersal (natural dispersal, invasions and range shifts) is a particular favourite of mine, especially in the context of land-use and climate changes. It is one of the proccesses at the origin of biodiversity as it can lead to speciation, and it determines where we can find which species today. I completed a joint PhD programme between Swansea University (Wales, UK) and Université Grenoble Alpes (France), and have now moved to Germany for a postdoc position.
