Elizabeth is a recent graduate of Agnes Scott College who has dedicated her life to the study of wildlife health. She is an aspiring marine biologist in hopes of earning a PhD in marine conservation. 

Elizabeth found her interest in biological conservation when she was a young child after many trips to the zoo and aquarium. When she was eleven she moved from suburban Ohio to rural Georgia, furthering her connection to the nature and animals that accompanied her from this point forward. Elizabeth worked on the surrounding horse and cattle farms from the age of thirteen. When she started college, Elizabeth interned at Zoo Atlanta through the herpetology department as well as being a research assistant for the biology department at Agnes Scott College. 

In her junior and senior years, she presented research on the development of the neural crest in tunicates and migratory bird populations in the Atlanta Forest. In the summer of 2024, she is completing post-bacc research with the Sarasota Dolphin Project.

Elizabeth’s current focus is gaining entry into graduate school for marine biology and conservation. Currently, she volunteers as a tiger shark observation volunteer at the Georgia Aquarium. In her free time Elizabeth enjoys cosplay, knitting, crochet, snorkeling, horseback-riding and herping (looking for reptiles and amphibians).
