Laura recently took the Life History and Identification of Birds & Mammals course at Unity College with Professor Sasha Tetzlaff.
"Before I started at Unity College I was completing a 20-month world tour. I had been a Registered Veterinary Technician for over 13 years and was introduced to wildlife conservation while working as the hospital manager at The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. In 2016, a visiting veterinarian from Rwanda shared with our staff his mission to end the illegal poaching of endangered grey-crowned cranes in his country. Since then his non-profit, Rwanda Wildlife Conservation Association, has grown significantly, and their amazing efforts have been internationally recognized.
I chose Unity College to become a grounded and skilled wildlife biologist through the online Bachelor's Wildlife Conservation degree program. Unity College accepted transfer credits from my AAS coursework and credit hours from additional undergraduate classes. I was confident I could complete my Bachelor's degree on my own time while continuing to work.
I have gained valuable research, writing, communication, and biology skills I need to pursue my goals. I am determined to obtain the knowledge I need in order to devote my energy to preserving biodiversity and conserving wildlife.
I really like the format of the 5-week terms that focus on a course project allowing students to put to use skills learned throughout the class. Course projects allow students to compile and work with real-world data preparing us for the field.
I plan to secure an internship before pursuing a related Master's degree after graduation. My experience is with endangered species and I plan to continue supporting them by working internationally with in-situ wildlife conservation projects."
