Biography:

As a recent graduate from the University of South Florida, I am thrilled to be starting my career of wildife conservtaion with Mote Marine. I grew up in the Bradenton area, with many visits to Mote as as a kid. My family’s love for animals throughout my childhood inspired me to pursue an education in animal biology and environmental conservation. During my undergrad in Tampa, volunteering/interning with local zoos and aquariums further developed my passion for wildlife conservation. Through these experiences, I saw the importance of willdife conservation education and public outreach, specifically through AZA facilities. I hope to inspire the public to develop an apprecaition for wildlife, as well as the many ways they can support various conservation efforts. I aim to support my career and further my education with a future masters degree in willdife conservation.
