Hi all - I am the Associate Curator of International Conservation at the North Carolina Zoo. In my role, I support the Zoo’s mission to protect wildlife and wild places primarily through support of its conservation projects implementing SMART conservation software across Africa. Before joining the Zoo, I was the SMART Partnership Program Manager at Wildlife Conservation Society in New York and an Adjunct Research Scientist in the Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Biology Department at Columbia University. Prior to WCS, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with the Bioko Biodiversity Protection Program at Drexel University. With an emphasis on primates, central Africa, and technology, my work has primarily focused on the drivers and dynamics of bushmeat hunting, quantifying the impact of human activities on wildlife populations, and leveraging research and technology to more effectively conserve biodiversity. I have a Ph.D. in Environmental Science from Drexel University, and is a member of the IUCN/SSC Primate Specialist Group, Africa Section and Red Colobus Working Group.
