Hey there!
My name is Jen and I am a soon to be Wildlife Conservation postgraduate student. My life goal has been to work in a zoo or sanctuary where I could help care for animals and educate people about the amazing diversity of life we share the planet with. I want to share my journey to help future conservation students and share the knowledge I’ve gained so that everyone can do their small part to help wildlife.
Currently, I have two Bachelor’s Degrees in Biology and International Studies, internship experience at a wildlife sanctuary and zoo, and have been to Ecuador for a short field study course. However, as the pressures on wildlife have mounted, I decided what I had wasn’t enough. That is why I will be studying the Global Wildlife Health and Conservation degree at Bristol University.
In this blog, I’m going to try and cover the before, during, and after of a conservation Master’s degree from my experiences searching for and applying to a program, daily life during the program, and what happens after I graduate. I will also try to write about wildlife or conservation-related topics here and there, especially if I find something I really want to ramble about 😉
