I have been investigating and managing wildlife diseases since 1996, when I joined the Uganda Wildlife Authority as its first veterinarian. After I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College of the University of London in 1995, I was eager to fulfil my passion for working with wildlife, particularly gorillas.
In 2003, I founded a non-profit organization that monitors and tracks zoonotic diseases — those transmitted between wildlife, humans and livestock — and promotes the conservation of mountain gorillas. We work in and around the Bwindi Impenetrable National Park in southwest Uganda.
