Leila is a conservation biologist who went to Bryn Mawr College for her undergraduate degree in Biology. Leila grew up in Mali and Ghana fell in love with nature while traveling to different habitats in West Africa. She has a special fondness for reptiles and amphibians and has worked on several fieldwork based research projects focused on lizards in the American Southwest.
