Hello everyone!

I joined WILDLABS to meet fellow conservationists and network, as I am currently hunting for a job within the realm of wildlife conservation. The aspects that I'm most passionate about are the protection of biodiversity and endangered/threatened species, education and [public] awareness, and human-wildlife conflict. 

I'm a career switcher based in the Boston, Massachusetts area of the United States, which has PLENTY of biotech/pharmaceutical companies. For the past few years, I had been working in laboratory animal husbandry, since that's what's abundant in the area with regard to all of these companies, but it was never what I wanted to do, professionally. After multiple short stints in this field, I decided to finally close the door on laboratory work, and open the door to my "true calling" of wildlife conservation. Currently, I'm a volunteer writer for the New England Primate Conservancy, a website where people of any age and any background can learn all about the world's primates and their conservation needs. I absolutely LOVE it... but I just wish it was a paid full-time position! 🤪

I'm open to hybrid/in-person opportunities in the Greater Boston Area, but remote positions anywhere! I also have a particular knack for writing and, even more-so, [wildlife] photography. I've even had some of my photography credited and published! I believe that capturing the beauty of wildlife through writing and photography can help promote them and their conservation needs. I hope to gain many connections being part of the WILDLABS community, and ultimately, secure a full-time position within the realm of wildlife conservation! Attached, you'll find my networking document, which lists my relevant skills and experience, as well as a list of organizations I'm open to working in (including, but not limited to those listed).

Happy to be here, and happy to connect!
