Reflecting on my time at Gombe and thinking about how honored I was to study those chimps and walk in Jane’s footsteps. Thank you for inspiring an entire generation of primatologists and animal lovers, Dr. Goodall.

Hi everyone! Just wanted to introduce myself - I’m a primate behavioral ecologist who recently completed my PhD studying female chimpanzees at Gombe National Park, Tanzania. I am currently looking for post doc and/or teaching positions!
