Shauna Ginger:
shauna_ginger@fws.gov, or shaunaginger@yahoo.com.

As I mentioned this morning, she said “Absolutely!” when I asked if she would be willing to talk to the students about careers in science. Her current title is Ecosystem Services Biologist for U.S. Fish and Wildlife in Portland, Oregon. The pic below is from when she worked specifically with endangered species in Mississippi and a recent photo. Love those baby bears!!

I don’t have her full bio, but here is a little bit about her: Shauna has a M.S. in Wildlife Ecology from Oklahoma State and a B.S. in Zoology from University of Arkansas. She is a 1994 graduate of Greenwood High School. Her background is in landscape ecology and mammalogy. She has worked on recovery and restoration of black bear, bats, gopher tortoise and other herps, endangered species listing, and habitat restoration with landowners, agencies, and NGOs – mostly in the bottomland hardwood and longleaf pine ecosystems.

Hope that’s enough to get the girls started!
