Kayla De Freitas - Anthropology, Environment and Development MSc

27 November 2019

Kayla De Freitas AED MSc Alumna

My name is聽Kayla聽de Freitas and I am from the Rupununi which is a 鈥渇rontier鈥 region in Guyana, South America.聽From 2017 to 2018, I attended University College London and completed an MSc in Anthropology, Environment and Development (AED).聽My Masters鈥 programme afforded me the opportunity to learn a mixed method skill set and deepened聽my interests in exploring integrated approaches and perspectives.聽

My exposure to Political Ecology during my time in AED encouraged me to think more holistically about the initial design, proposal and implementation of projects. Upon graduating, I returned to my long term commitment of coordinating the . SRCS鈥 member spans seven core communities and ranches. The organisation aims to link conservation, education, culture and tourism to promote community led, meaningful conservation programs at a small scale.聽

The programme also improved my confidence, encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and expanded my skill set to be able to participate in projects that before I would be reluctant to be part of.聽The AED program has allowed me to develop a wider perspective on diverse interests which has encouraged me to accept an offer to do a PhD at the Royal Holloway University of London (2019 to 2023) focusing on the changing practices of indigenous fire management in Guyana.
