Originally from Florida, USA, I received my Bachelors of Science in Zoology from the University of Florida while pursuing research on African dwarf crocodiles and population genetics. I then went to the University of Central Florida to receive my Masters of Science in Biology, publishing my first peer-reviewed paper on the demography and population structure of the endangered Florida Key deer using non-invasive genetic sampling. In 2018 I moved to Nebraska, USA, to work at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium where I worked as the program and grants manager to their field conservation project in Madagascar, the Madagascar Biodiversity Partnership, a Malagasy NGO. Currently, I work for the Conservation Centers for Species Survival, as their Development Associate.
