"I am originally from France but I grew up in the states of
California, Washington, and Arizona. I recently received my veterinary degree
from the University of California, Davis, with an emphasis in zoological
species. During my undergraduate years at the University of Arizona in Tucson,
I became determined to aid and protect the species of the wild. My passion
stems from working hands-on with wildlife to provide veterinary care and to
relieve suffering. My career goals include better understanding the human impact
on ecosystems and how we can ameliorate those issues to empower our
conservation efforts.
Why I was interested in the Raptor Center:
The Raptor Center is well known as a leader in wildlife
veterinary care and research, so I knew I would be honored to be part of their
program. After graduation, I was seeking additional training through an
internship and hoped to eventually find a job in the extremely competitive
field of wildlife medicine. The Raptor Center fulfilled everything I could have
hoped for and I feel extremely fortunate to be working here today.
What I hope to learn:
During the upcoming year, I plan to build my skills and
confidence as a clinician, and better understand the dynamics of raptor
rehabilitation and management. I hope to become proficient in orthopedic
surgery and complete a research project as well. I also look forward to teaching
the fourth year veterinary students and honing my leadership skills. Overall, I
am very grateful to be part of The Raptor Center team and could not be more
excited for what this year has in store"
