BIO:

Maggie Howell

Maggie Howell, Executive Director, has worked at the Wolf Conservation Center since 2005 and for large carnivores since 1999.  Maggie's interest and experience with wildlife run deep. Growing up in New York City, Maggie visited her local veterinarian more often than her pediatrician, routinely bringing in injured city "wildlife" she had rescued. She continued her studies more formally at Vassar, earning a degree in Biology, focusing on Animal Behavior. After a few years working in the jungles of Wall Street, her passion for natural wildlife led her out West where she began working with big cats.
