I graduated from Central Washington University in 2023 with my second MS. in Primate Behavior. My research focused on the relationship between the intestinal parasite burden and social contact behavior in Tibetan macaques in China. I also held my first MS. in Zoology at the University of Mahajanga in Madagascar. At that time, I did research about the morphology, ecology, and ectoparasites in two species of mouse lemurs (Golden brown and Grey mouse lemurs) in northwestern Madagascar. My two Masters inspired me to continue research focusing on parasites and infectious diseases in lemur ecology and conservation in Madagascar for my Ph.D.
