My experience with wildcats includes previous work with Geoffroy’s, pampas and Andean cats. In 2003 I did field work in the Andes mountains of South America, searching for the highly elusive Andean cat, and committed to protect that outstanding landscape. I became a member of the Andean Cat Alliance (AGA), and have been the General Coordinator since 2014. With AGA I have been developing conservation and research programs that led to my receiving the Disney Conservation Hero award in 2018, and my PhD in 2019 after studying the species in north Patagonia. I am a proud, self-proclaimed crazy cat lady.
