Hailey Christoph

I am a Master’s Student in Biology at Towson University interested in a career in wildlife health and conservation.

Originally from the Chicago suburbs, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Iowa State University in May of 2022 with my B.S in Biology. During my undergraduate career, I served in several research and teaching roles to diversify my experience and solidify my desire to become a scientist and educator. After graduating, I had the opportunity to work at Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines, Iowa as a Seasonal Educator. Working with exotic animals, the public, and the dedicated staff, I immersed myself into the field of conservation and instantly fell in love. After that, I worked as an Assistant Naturalist for Polk County Conservation, in Granger, Iowa. Here, I continued to spread my passion for conservation through public interaction while also gaining field skills that help me with my current research.
