She went on to find employment as a secretary at Oxford University, and in her spare time also worked at a London-based documentary film company to finance a long-anticipated trip to Africa. Goodall attended the Uplands private school, receiving her school certificate in 1950 and a higher certificate in 1952. From an early age, she dreamed of traveling to Africa to observe exotic animals in their natural habitats. In her leisure time, she observed native birds and animals, making extensive notes and sketches, and read widely in the literature of zoology and ethology. Goodall's fascination with animal behavior began in early childhood. Along with her sister, Judy, Goodall was reared in London and Bournemouth, England. Goodall was born on April 3, 1934, in London, England, to Mortimer Herbert Goodall, a businessperson and motor-racing enthusiast, and the former Margaret Myfanwe Joseph, who wrote novels under the name Vanne Morris Goodall. A highly respected member of the world scientific community, she advocates for ecological preservation through the Jane Goodall Institute. She immersed herself in their lives, bypassing more rigid procedures to make discoveries about primate behavior that have continued to shape scientific discourse. Jane Goodall set out to Tanzania in 1960 to study wild chimpanzees.
