Sal F.

I am immensely passionate about wildlife conservation, and at the moment, my long-term objective is to pursue a career in global conservation through behavioral research of mammals. I believe that biology (technical applications) and philosophy (ethical perspectives) are fundamentally two sides of the same coin regarding the management of wildlife; therefore, I fully intend to reflect this holistic approach in my career by integrating both elements into the field work and studies that I will eventually conduct.

1. Strengthen my adaptability through engaging in a quick-paced environment with a drastic change in climate and culture.
2. Develop a nuanced understanding of how human-wildlife interactions influence conflict in the context of a different region.
3. Foster meaningful connections with local community members and wildlife professionals, as this will be the most crucial to my personal & professional development as an aspiring conservationalist.
