Ashling Cannon

Editor, Springer Nature

Hi!  I'm Ashling, an MSc Wild Animal Biology graduate with two years of experience in academic publishing. During this time, I have gained invaluable insights and skills in this field, however, I am now eager to align my professional experience, academic background, and passion for conservation. I have a strong interest in animal behaviour and conversation. I would be keen to further my experience in undertaking and carrying out behavioural research projects in the field. I am also keen to develop my skills in wildlife project management.  I hope to one day be a behavioural and welfare researcher at a zoo to contribute to meaningful conservation efforts and apply my existing expertise while continually learning and growing my skills.  In my free time, I love to go on hikes, horse ride, scuba dive, read, and crochet.

Maria Mercedes Pons Camacho

CMDB Engineer / IT Strategy, PTC

I'm originally from Spain, and I came to live to Massachusetts on 2011 with my husband and 2 kids (now teenagers).   Professionally, I work in Corporate IT, first in Santander Bank and then PTC.  More than 30 years of professional experience in different areas of IT. Since I was a kid I had a huge interest in wildlife, and my first desire was to become a veterinarian, but life took me in a different direction.  But I don't think it's late to start any adventure, so I've decided to put the work and time to be involved in wildlife conservation.  I really would like to see myself as part of projects that really make an impact. I'm a certified Scuba Diver and now starting my journey to Freediving.  I also enjoy sailing, and this summer I hope to get ASA certified.  I've enjoyed birdwatching in the past, and I really enjoy all things around wildlife. I come here full of interest in starting my new adventure into wildlife conservation, hoping to meet people who can inspire me and help me find my way in this new stage of my life.
