Life at Midway

Just as creepy as almost every albino thing is.

Jen Kardiak: I have a graduate certificate in Conservation Biology from Columbia's CERC-Center for Environmental Research and Conservation and I was beginning a Master's in Animal Behavior and Conservation when I got distracted for several years by an opportunity to work in documentary films. The documentary work switched to reality tv and I realized that wasn't for me. I had a bit of a midlife crisis (one of many that I've had over the years) and realized that I might need to leave Manhattan to live a life closer to nature and more actively engaged with conservation and wildlife. That realization led me to finding this volunteer position with US Fish and Wildlife on Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge. I don't know what I will do after the three month position is over but for now I'm just grateful for the opportunity to be here.
