Kristen Schott

As an undergraduate at Princeton University researching toxoplasmosis in sea otters for my senior thesis, I developed a fascination for the many complex factors that influence the health of wildlife populations and the transmission of infectious diseases between them. Following graduation, I attended veterinary school at Cornell University with the ultimate goal of pursuing a career combining clinical veterinary work with zoo and wildlife species with conservation medicine research. After two years of intensive clinical training in small animal and companion exotic pet medicine, I am very excited to be starting a 1-year wildlife veterinary specialty internship at the Clinic for Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW) and to be collaborating on this project with their amazing team.
