“I’m so happy for this opportunity. I hope to see the world, work with wildlife, and help my fellow girls show the world that women can do it — better.”

Shillah dreams of sharing the wonder of Nairobi National Park and Kenya’s incredible wildlife with visitors from around the world — not simply by reciting facts, but by sharing the place she knows, loves, and calls home.
