Natalee Bozzi

Natalee Bozzi is a postgraduate student in the Masters of Conservation Biology program at the University of Queensland. She received her undergraduate degree in Environmental Science and Terrestrial Resource Management with a focus in Wildlife Conservation from the University of Washington, where she also received minors in Quantitative Science and Aquatic and Fishery Sciences.

Originally from Washington State in the U.S., Natalee is an avid birder with great interest in the conservation of endangered avian species. Her background is in animal behaviour, as her undergraduate thesis was about brown bear foraging behaviour and the factors that affect it in Bristol Bay, Alaska. She has also contributed to several research projects through her work at the SEFS Shared Genetics Lab on mesocarnivore genetics and her contributions to the Wood Lab at UW on marine parasite ecology. In addition, she has experience working with museum ornithology collections through her time at the Burke Museum, has contributed to conservation in a zoo setting at the Memphis Zoo, and has assisted with bird counts and bird collision monitoring for the National Audubon Society. She’s probably out birding now, but she’s always happy to chat!
