Julia Kramer

Julia grew up as an avid nature lover which led her to receive her Bachelor's in Wildlife and Forest Ecosystems from Purdue University. There she received practical experience in wildlife management like research through trap and release, bioacoustics, data management, and writing management plans for a variety of taxonomic groups including bats. She now works as a Laboratory and Wildlife Technician where she completes taxonomic ID of micro- and macroscopic organisms in the Hudson River and Jamaica Bay, monitors waterbirds on the NYC drinking water reservoirs, completes bat emergence counts, and much more.

As Field & Conservation Advisor, Julia brings ideas, experience, and resources to Gotham Bat Conservancy. She is very passionate about preserving bats and their habitats amid the destruction of White-nose Syndrome and hopes to bring understanding to our community that we must live in harmony with all of the Earth's creatures.
