Kennedy Mayfield-Smith - Isle Royale National Park

I recently graduated from Tuskegee University with a B.S. in Animal and Poultry Science. This summer
I will be working at Isle Royale National Park. As an animal science graduate, I am excited to have the
opportunity to branch out and explore wildlife and environmental and conservation science while
participating in a major research project. I think fieldwork is an important part of animal science that
people often overlook, and I love the opportunity to do so while solidifying my love for animal science
and teaching others how to care for, connect with, and conserve wildlife. One day I hope to have a career
in conservation education, bridging the gap between urban youth and the sciences. I enjoy reading and
cooking.
