- Biology major with courses in Genetics, Ecology, Evolution, Mammalogy, Primate Conservation, Organic Chemistry, Microbiology.
- I have a 3.25 GPA
- I have been a veterinary assistant for a year at a domestic/exotic hospital
- I am an intern at the Long Island Aquarium for the mammal department (3 month internship) where I prepare meals, learn husbandry, clean exhibits, educate visitors on our animals, and observe behavior training sessions.
