Kate completed her MSc in Zoology at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in 2007. Her thesis project focussed on characterising genetic markers for detecting illegal trade in Blue Cranes Grus paradisea. She then participated in various research projects abroad, studying Mouse Lemurs in Ankaranfantsika, Madagascar, and researching Honeyeaters and Thornbills in Australia and Tasmania. A quick stint working and travelling in Europe cured the travel bug and Kate came back to South Africa in mid-2010 where she joined the Mabula Ground Hornbill Research and Conservation Project. Kate joined the Percy FitzPatrick Institute of African Ornithology during 2011 and is based at the Associated Private Nature Reserves where she manages the Fitztitute’s Southern Ground-Hornbill Conservation Project, amongst other things keeping a close eye on the movements and breeding success of Southern Ground-Hornbill groups.
