Sabrina Manero is currently working on her PhD in Environment and Resources in the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies at UW-Madison, having completed her BA at Tufts University and earned her MA in English at UW-Madison. Her research is centered on the polarity of the figure of the wolf (symbolic or otherwise) and considers that the rhetoric used regarding wolf/human dynamics in Wisconsin could be a key factor in the interplay between public opinion, policy, and management decisions. In her free time, Sabrina loves baking, snowboarding, creating, cuddling with her cat Minerva, and being in nature as much as possible. She is at her happiest on a crisp fall day, knitting in her hammock and sipping on a steaming mug of fresh apple cider.
