In college, she was responsible for the maintenance of a capuchin monkey colony and assisted with behavioral studies involving them. Post college work brought her into animal research at Harvard Medical School, starting with the basics as an animal care technician and working her way up through administration. Now as the supervisor of the animal facility at McLean Hospital, she has the opportunity to work closely with the researchers and their science while managing the facility in compliance with all regulations and ensuring the humane care of the research animals.
