As Reservations and Communications Coordinator, Sandra manages volunteer reservations and communications, responding to enquiries, guiding applicants through the booking process, and coordinating arrivals, departures, and project placements alongside the team on the ground.

“I am hugely inspired by the beauty of the natural world and feel a strong need to preserve it. Being part of Wildlife ACT allows me to combine my love for writing and communications with the mission to inspire meaningful action and conserve our incredible wildlife.”
