Hi! I’m Dr. Stephanie Manka
(formerly Schuttler)
I KNOW what it feels like to struggle in wildlife careers because I’ve been where you are!
I struggled to land a permanent job despite having a Ph.D., numerous publications, over a decade of experience, and a large network with top scientists from prestigious organizations.
For the past eight years, I’ve been obsessed with understanding what it takes to get a permanent job in this competitive field by analyzing my career path and talking with hundreds of struggling aspiring wildlife job seekers.
Nearly 20 years in the field:
17 years in wildlife research: government, zoos, museums, academia, and alongside nonprofits
18 years of mentoring students, 6 implementing my 3-part framework with proven RESULTS
~30 peer-reviewed publications in animal behavior, mammal communities, predator-prey relationships, non-invasive genetics, satellite telemetry, social, and citizen science
TEDx speaker and featured biologist on the Discovery, Science, and History Channels
Study species and systems across four continents
Don't take it from me...
Listen to my students!
“I am now starting my first job as a Biological Science Tech position with the USFWS.”
“I graduated in 2020 and struggled to get any simple seasonal field jobs – even volunteer positions. I didn’t work in the wildlife field for a year. I am now starting my first job as a Biological Science Tech position with the USFWS.”
– Rachel Smith
“I had a great interview and got offered and accepted the position today!!”
“Additionally, I had about 5 to 6 other offers as well for other positions as well. Thank you so much for this course as it’s helping me get out of my imposter syndrome mindset. ”
– Austyn Becker
“Getting a job with USGS and being able to work in my field (not retail) is well worth the fact I did this course”
– Abbie Heimowitz
You LOVE wildlife 🐾
You chose the degree ✅
Maybe you’re even gaining experience... 🥾
But you're still not getting jobs or internships...😞
That changes NOW! 😀
You're about to discover the essentials to planning your wildlife career and landing jobs. You ready!?
If you thought getting a job in wildlife, conservation, or environmental fields was only for the lucky, well-connected, or rich, you’d be wrong.
From my two decades in the field and working with dozens of students, I've learned it boils down to three essential factors that ANYONE can implement.
My students have proven that when you apply these pillars, getting interviews becomes predictable.
The method you're about to learn makes achieving a wildlife career possible for anyone - whether you are still in school or have years of experience.
