Conscious Conservation

My mission is to educate, inspire, and empower others so that together we will be the change we wish to see in the world. I have over 20 years of experience in wildlife veterinary medicine, conservation, and issues related to One Health in Africa, and have had the pleasure of working with a variety of domestic and wild animals over the years. I created a charitable organization, Silent Heroes Foundation, in 2010 as a way of contributing to conservation & One Health efforts in Africa. I am a veterinarian, and have a PhD in wildlife epidemiology and virology. I am a board certified Diplomate in the American College of Veterinary Preventive Medicine and the American College of Veterinary Microbiology. I currently teach conservation medicine and related courses at the University of Florida. I am a Certified Meditation Instructor, so that I may assist others in finding their peace, and as a certified Compassion Fatigue Therapist in order to better assist those in my profession who may be suffering in silence.
