WILDLIFE ECOLOGISTHello! My name is Kinley Ragan (she/hers) and I am a wildlife ecologist and conservationist graduated from Arizona State University. I study human-wildlife conflict management and coexistence, as well as, wildlife habitat use and movement. I am passionate about interdisciplinary, social-ecological research. I enjoy wildlife, hiking, the outdoors, and a good laugh.
Feel free to follow my journey & please reach out if you have any questions. |
MY LATEST ADVENTURE
Promoted to Field Research Project Manager at the Phoenix Zoo!
My Christmas present this year was a promotion at the end of 2022! I was promoted to Field Research Project Manager at the Arizona Center for Nature Conservation - Phoenix Zoo in the Field Conservation Research Department (FCRD). My relationship with the zoo began as a volunteer in 2015, I then had internships all through college and some contract jobs after graduating. In January 2022, I was hired as a Tech under Dr. Jan Schipper.
Here I coordinate many projects focusing on landscape & habitat connectivity and wildlife conservation both in the US/Mexico borderlands and in Costa Rica. Grateful to be working with an institution that supports wildlife research locally and internationally.
