My Story
I’m a wildlife veterinarian and conservationist who is deeply passionate about the One Health approach to conservation. Over the past decade, I’ve worked at and collaborated with leading organizations around the world, contributing to projects that investigate and address complex issues at the nexus of human, animal, and environmental health.
Originally from Upstate New York and trained at Cornell University, my path has taken me through diverse field, clinical, and academic settings - from wildlife rescue, zoological medicine, and university, to public health initiatives and international conservation efforts related to human-wildlife conflict. I am building a career centered around the human dimensions of conservation and strongly believe in multidisciplinary, holistic, and community-based approaches to address conservation challenges.
​
While I continue to stay hands-on in the field and practice some clinical medicine, I am continually growing beyond the white coat to have a broader impact in conservation and global health. I have strong project management and strategic planning experience, which I aim to bolster as I grow as a leader, educator, researcher, and collaborator. I’m committed to building practical, science-based solutions that help create a more sustainable and resilient future for all species. Let’s work together!
