About
I am currently a Master's student at the Zoological Society and the Royal Veterinary College of London, studying the MSc Wild Animal Health. Throughout my years as a veterinary student, I remember frequently being told that wildlife research was "only for biologists". However, this MSc course has shown me that quite the opposite is true: Interdisciplinary work is essential to inform effective conservation strategies. Whilst studying for my current degree, I found wildlife immunology to be an often underexplored topic, and developed a special interest in the field. Having worked on oral rabies vaccination of the European wolf (Canis lupus) for my doctoral thesis, I am thrilled to be applying my veterinary background to this important project, which will have real-life conservation impacts for African Wild Dogs.
