Passionate and dedicated animal behaviorist with hands-on experience in both internship and educational settings. I am a recent graduate of Nottingham Trent University, United Kingdom where I completed my master’s degree in Endangered Species Recovery and Conservation. I am hoping to gain a better perspective on how humans have affected wildlife and how they can restore it. This opportunity will give me the experience to develop knowledge and skills that are necessary in the animal care field. Seeking to leverage proven animal training, behavior analysis, and teamwork skills.
