As a wildlife biologist and geneticist, I specialize in conservation efforts and the study of biodiversity. I currently work as a subcontractor for Southern California Edison, where I conduct preconstruction surveys and biological and wetlands monitoring for construction activities. I am also pursuing a PhD in Population Genetics (ABD), with my research focusing on the genetics of chimpanzee populations. As a core member and geneticist for The Pan African Programme: The Cultured Chimpanzee, I am deeply involved in collaborative research to understand the behavioral and genetic diversity of chimpanzees across Africa.With a strong commitment to both fieldwork and research, my career is dedicated to promoting wildlife conservation and applying genetic insights to inform management and conservation strategies."
