TWS welcomes new staff writer

With training in ecology and science writing, Olivia Milloway brings dual expertise to TWS

Olivia Milloway has joined The Wildlife Society’s communications team as a staff writer.

In Milloway’s new role, she will write articles for www.wildlife.org and The Wildlife Professional. She will focus on sharing TWS Sections, Chapters and member news as well as the Society’s policy work.  

Milloway spent the past few years working at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama City, where she was both a Fulbright Student Grantee studying the invasive Atlantic needlefish in the Panama Canal and a science writer.

Before living in Panama, she lived and worked at Schoodic Institute at Acadia National Park, where she created and produced season one of Acadia’s official narrative science podcast, Sea to Trees. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Science and Biology from Emory University, where she co-founded Emory’s student chapter of the Wildlife Disease Association. For her honors thesis, she studied chytrid fungus in invasive American bullfrogs in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Originally from Oak Ridge, Tennessee, Milloway is currently based in Brooklyn, New York. She is enjoying getting to know the urban wildlife in parks around her neighborhood.
