Currently, she is a Genetics Ph.D. candidate focused on the use of genetic and genomic tools in wildlife health and conservation assessments. Since enrolling at NC State, Isabella has worked on projects with California sea lions, Galapagos sea lions, and American black bears. She hopes to work with as many species as possible.
