The plight of threatened and endangered species has always called to me, and I’ve had the privilege of being involved in projects where I can answer that call. I’m a rising 3rd-year veterinary student at Colorado State University who strives to specialize in theriogenology for species conservation. Before veterinary school, I completed a Master’s program in Assisted Reproductive Technology and have experience working with a wide variety of species, including cheetahs, sharks, and tigers. In addition, I have been conducting reproductive research on domestic cats, Asian elephants, and domestic ferrets while pursuing my veterinary education. This black-footed ferret project is especially important to me because of my drive to assist endangered species, and I look forward to making a difference.
