That’s EXACTLY why I wrote Getting a Job in Wildlife Biology

All of my decisions in my wildlife biology career were based on asking others for help. I would ask any professional I could talk to for advice on my next step.

But before I started, I wish someone had just laid it out all for me.

I do exactly that for you in Getting a Job in Wildlife Biology: What It’s Like and What You Need to Know. You’ll follow my journey to become a wildlife biologist studying animals all over the world. I lay out the six major job categories and the seven workplaces now so you understand what courses or experiences you need to get to be competitive for those jobs before you are deep into your career.

You’ll get almost two decades worth of knowledge in this field in just one book allowing you to avoid mistakes, save time and money, and make the decisions that are right for you.

Big picture career advice for multiple fields of biology

"This was a great foundational book for the world of biological research and study. I can attest to the accuracy of her opinions and facts as a marine biology college graduate. This is is a comprehensive text for readers of any age and career level."

Got your Bachelor's degree and wondering "What now?"

"This book is full of great info about the field of wildlife biology, but also just life itself. All the practicality of a textbook guide, but it reads like sitting down with a friend and hearing their story. I wish I had this book to reference when I was just starting out in college, but still so useful now!"
