About my research
My research is rooted in wildlife rehabilitation. Specifically, I am interested in the welfare of wild animals and helping restore health to sick and injured wildlife. I am also interested in looking at anthropogenic effects on wildlife that have been admitted to rehabilitation centres.
How my research could Improve Life
There are so many ways that our actions have an impact on wildlife, and I am interested in helping wildlife rehabilitators care for wild animals for subsequent release back to the wild. I am also interested in wild animal welfare when working with free-ranging wildlife. My research helps to improve life of individual animals, populations of animals, and the ecosystem within which we all belong.
Why U of G?
The University of Guelph is offering a unique graduate program in wildlife biology: one that is flexible, adaptable and engaging for students. Students can specialize in the field of wildlife rehabilitation as one of the streams within the new course-based Master of Wildlife Biology. If students are interested in a thesis-based degree, they can work on issues relevant to sick, injured, and/or orphaned wildlife.
