Biography
Virginia
Animal Science
University of California Davis
Why did you choose to pursue this degree, and why did you choose Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine to pursue this degree?
I chose to pursue this degree because I want to stand for the animals who do not have a voice and attempt to rebuild a dying population. I want generations of people after me to be able to see an elephant in person and not have to Google one to know what an elephant is.
What are your interests and/or experience relative to conservation medicine?
I have experience in wildlife rehabilitation, as well as some other related areas, however my main interest is in artificial reproduction and genetic manipulation.
What are your career goals after completing the program?
I plan on gaining as much experience in the broad topic of conservation medicine within a year and then using it to further my education beyond this master’s program. I would ideally like to obtain a P.h.D. or D.V.M. specializing in theriogenology and artificial reproduction.
