About Priya Shindurnikar
Hello Everyone! I am a corporate Administrative professional with a work experience of almost 18 years. However, parallel to my corporate jobs, I am from the field of Animal Welfare since 30 years and have been a part of Small Animal Street Dog Population Management, Vaccinations of Street Animals, Rescue and Rehabilitation of Physically Challenged Cats and Dogs. I have been active on field with Rescues, Neutering and treatment of injured and ailing street cats and dogs.
For 16 years I was also a voluntary care-taker of a Cattery which provided a permanent shelter to physically challenged cats.
I have always been intrigued and drawn towards Wildlife and found Human – Animal Interface, Environmental Enrichment of Animals Bred in Captivity & of those Rescued from severe Abuse for Human Benefit , Conservation of Species and Habitats of Interest and Importance.
I would like to consider a Career Change into Wildlife Conservation for the 2nd innings of My Life, thus, making a start with acquiring professional knowledge in the field of Wildlife Conservation.
I am a First class graduate in Microbiology and Biochemistry, volunteered at Veterinary clinics, and also hold a great interest in Veterinary medicines and ways of handling, capture, anaethesia of wild animals.
All Animals exhibit varying behaviours when under stress or they need to be relocated and it is truly amazing to see and learn how veterinary professionals, conservationists, animal handlers, work in perfect co-ordination thereby driving success of any task that needs to be completed. I have a lot to learn from this training and many who have been in the field of Wildlife Conservation and I look forward to building my knowledge and skills and contribute subsequently utilizing my corporate acquired skills and the knowledge on Wildlife Conservation that I gain.
