Description
After recently completing a master’s degree in Primate Conservation, I have developed a keen passion and interest to work with captive primates. This was further encouraged by volunteering at ZSEA Banham Zoo, Monkeyland Primate Sanctuary and Shepreth Wildlife Park. In addition, I have a developed interest in the area of behavioural research in captive species, with both of my degree projects focusing on captive primates and their behaviour.
