Her conservation journey began with research on spotted turtles. After earning her degree in Biology from Salisbury University, Emily worked various Biology jobs ranging from analyzing Breeding Bird surveys to manufacturing cell therapy cancer clinical trials! Throughout this time, she remained engaged with conservation efforts by volunteering with organizations such as Saving the Blue doing shark research and the Baltimore National Aquarium working with Australian reptiles. She also explored some hobbies such as horse-back riding, hiking and skiing! Emily is excited to further her career in marine ornithology with ARC, continuing her passion for the conservation efforts for endangered and threatened species.
