Hello all. My name is Anne and I am a wildlife biologist with a strong background in avian science. I am currently a member of the Florida Flamingo Working Group, IUCN Flamingo Specialist Group, and will be conducting independent research on migratory bird health in suburban stopover habitat. All of which are volunteer work for me.
I joined WildHub to meet new people from around the globe and learn of all the different conservation opportunities there are for work. As they say on LinkedIn, I am "open to work" and searching for the next big fulltime job that will allow me to expand my skills in international conservation. I have a variety of interests, but enjoy working to establish partnership relationships in conservation, project management, and helping design research protocols. I have about 8 years of experience from numerous seasonal positions and working fulltime as an Avian Biologist in Florida.
I am based in Columbus, Ohio and looking to meet others who work with international projects so I can learn from them. With the WildHub community, I hope to learn of new opportunities, field techniques, or events. I also see it as being a great platform to share my progress as I start my own bird banding station research.
I have worked in field biology since 2013 with a focus on avian research, specifically wetland and coastal habitats. Most recently, I worked with Audubon Great Lakes to bring urban migratory bird monitoring to Grange Insurance Audubon Center. For several years, I worked with shorebirds and wading birds in Florida as the Avian Biologist with Rookery Bay Reserve. I have also presented multiple lectures for festivals or training courses such as the Florida Master Naturalist course and Rookery Bay's Festival of Birds. I currently reside in Central Ohio while staying active in national or international conservation programs such as Zoo Miami's Florida Flamingo Working Group to research American flamingo ecology or ResearchWild Inc's international internship research program.
