I gained so many new experiences here!!

I came here with virtually no conservation research experience and, from day one, gained so many new experiences and skills in different aspects of the field. These included husbandry, field monitoring/surveys, and raising/releasing Gopher frogs. In my first month (pre-covid), I even had travel opportunities to tag and release Striped newts in Florida and attended a herpetology conservation conference in Alabama. I'm so grateful for all of the new adventures I had and species I encountered here!
