2026 Swift Endowment Fellow
Dept. of Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology
My name is Ashlyn Platt, and I am a WFCB sophomore. I specialize in wildlife conservation and am particularly interested in researching the cascading effects of climate change on dynamic ecosystems. Growing up, I was always drawn to the outdoors and inspired by wildlife documentaries, which sparked my passion for protecting species and mitigating human impacts on the environment. Beyond academics, I dedicate a lot of my time to competitive powerlifting. Additionally, I enjoy hiking, photography, and running.
