Corte Madera resident Kayley Bateman has been applying the tools of science, education and conservation to become a leader in the conservation community. In mid-December 2020, Bateman will conclude her master’s course of study with a Master of Arts (MA) degree in Biology from Miami University through Project Dragonfly.
Since joining the GFP (Global Field Program) master’s in 2018, Bateman has traveled to Belize, the Galapagos, engaged with global conservationists in action projects through a new online course, and conducted projects that have made a difference in the Corte Madera area.
Throughout her time in the Global Field Program, Bateman developed a Master Plan – a kind of personal mission statement for what she wanted to accomplish in the program. In many of her master’s courses, Bateman designed projects that supported this plan, which culminated in a final portfolio, “The Conservation of Species Biodiversity in the California Floristic Province,” presented in a Capstone course.
Bateman works as an animal keeper at San Francisco Zoo.
