Cil P.

After Cil lost her job as a Synthetic Biologist and Neuroscientist during the recession, she was determined to shift her focus to her true passion - animals. She volunteered at a rehab center and fell in love wildlife rehabbing, then became an apprentice. She will be eligible for her own license this summer. She cares for rodents, rabbits, opossums, raccoons and turtles and expects to help as many as 200 animals each year. A scientist at heart, Cil plans to devote her rehab center to researching the best practices for the sake of making wildlife rehabilitation better for patients, in addition to educating the public, and of course saving animals. She's fortunate to have a supportive husband and three great children to cheer her on this journey.
