I received my Bachelor’s in fisheries, wildlife, and conservation biology from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities in 2020. I have previously worked as a professional research assistant at neurology labs studying the role of addiction in the brain, as well as various animal care technician roles including a lab animal technician at National Jewish Health and a nursery worker at Wilderness Walk zoo. I volunteer at the Feline Fix, where I help in surgery to spay and neuter cats as well as fostering cats in my free time. My professional goals are to become a DVM in lab animal medicine and pursue ACLAM certification.
