Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
My Name is sasha.
I am An animal behavior researcher who conducts Science in service of others.
I believe that all living beings deserve to live a good life. I want to make the world a better place for humans and more-than-humans. I’m an experienced business owner, human companion to three dogs, scorpio sun/capricorn moon, and world traveler. After earning a masters degree in Animal Behavior & Conservation from Hunter College (Thesis: Behavioral Patterns of Goldfish (Carassius auratus) Exploring A “Fish Tower”) and seven years of working in companion animal care, I am now a sanctuary-based animal welfare researcher.
