I have a master's degree in Animal Behavior and Conservation from Hunter College in New York, NY. After five years working in marine animal stranding response in Florida, I started The Wildlife Research Alliance, a non-profit dedicated to increasing equity in conservation behavior research by way of fully-funded internships. My experience is mainly with sea turtles, manatees, and bottlenose dolphins, but I have also studied harlequin ducks, snow leopards, and elephantnose fish. I am interested in how climate change is affecting marine and terrestrial animals, animal socialization and humor, and ways in which we can make conservation easier for the general public.
Starting peer here. Looking forward to learn from people with fascinating visions and experience. Never hesitant to give a candid oppinion and appreciates the same.
