I have enjoyed time with the sign language competent chimpanzees at the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute in Ellensburg, Washington, and recently completed a study at the National Chimpanzee Sanctuary System, Chimp Haven, where I examined behavioral change and habitat usage due to cold weather, and performed the statistical analysis for this and two prior research efforts. I currently serve in the roll of chimpanzee therapist, working with the only chimpanzee to receive an autism diagnosis, Elia, at the Jeunes Animaux Confisques au Katanga (JACK), a chimpanzee sanctuary in the Lubumbashi Zoo, Democratic Republic of Congo.
