Let Me Introduce Myself
Hi! I’m Dr. Stephanie Manka (formerly Schuttler), a wildlife biologist of 17 years with over 30 peer-reviewed scientific publications, founder of the Successful Wildlife Professional program, author of Getting a Job in Wildlife Biology, and professional wildlife career mentor.
I help aspiring wildlife biologists, conservationists, and environmental scientists identify, prepare for, and land their dream job so that they can pursue their life’s passion, make an impact in the world, and get PAID for it.
There’s nothing wrong with you. Wildlife and related careers are different than other jobs! The career advice you’ve learned from other fields doesn’t work in ours.
What you were never taught is HOW to get a job in wildlife, conservation, or environmental sciences fields.
For the past eight years, I’ve been obsessed with understanding what it takes to get a permanent job by analyzing my career path and applying my proven framework to 100+ students.
Over 6 years, I’ve worked closely with aspiring wildlife professionals stuck in the same painful patterns:
- Things feel tense, so they pull away or shut down
- Or they push harder, explain more, promise change or defend at all costs
- And somehow… the relationship still falls apart
Not because they didn’t care but because their body went into survival mode and took over their behavior.
My clients often tell me I’m the bridge … the one who helps them finally understand what’s happening between them and the women they love. Not by blaming anyone, but by showing them what emotional safety actually looks like and how to build it without losing themselves in the process.
Once that clicks, something big shifts.
They stop chasing approval.
They stop reacting from fear.
They stop outsourcing their self-worth to their partner.
Nearly 20 years in the field:
17 years in wildlife research: government, zoos, museums, academia, and alongside nonprofits
18 years of mentoring students, 6 implementing my 3-part framework with proven RESULTS
~30 peer-reviewed publications in animal behavior, mammal communities, predator-prey relationships, non-invasive genetics, satellite telemetry, social, and citizen science
TEDx speaker and featured biologist on the Discovery, Science, and History Channels
Study species and systems across four continents
Student Testimonials & Results
Austyn Becker:
“I am now starting my first job as a Biological Science Tech position with the USFWS.”
“I graduated in 2020 and struggled to get any simple seasonal field jobs – even volunteer positions. I didn’t work in the wildlife field for a year. After I joined the Successful Wildlife Professional program, Stephanie gave me specific advice on my cover letters and resumes. After a few months of joining, I am now starting my first job as a Biological Science Tech position with the USFWS.”
– Rachel Smith
“Getting a job with USGS and being able to work in my field (not retail) is well worth the fact I did this course”
– Abbie Heimowitz
“I have to thank you because I’ve used all the advice I got from you on writing cover letters and resumes…My interviewer was able to see from my resume (that improved immensely after you looked it over) that I had a strong fieldwork background… In my first interview they began the call by stating how they really liked the way I wrote my cover letter…I was selected out of nearly 200 applicants, some of whom had years of communications experience! I’m feeling very grateful and excited about this opportunity.”
