Chelsey obtained a bachelor's degree in biochemistry from Central Michigan University in 2014. After graduating, she worked as a research technician at Central Michigan University studying ways to target the glycoconjugates of the M. Tuberculosis cell membrane as a means of biological inquiry and therapeutic intervention. She began working for MSU in the spring of 2014 doing Alzheimer’s research, before joining the Agnew Lab in the summer of 2019. Interests outside the lab include cooking, gardening, and traveling to the Upper Peninsula to spend time with family.

Jamie Douglas graduated from the Michigan State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 2014, followed by an anesthesia internship at MSU in 2015. She then went on to complete her master's degree in animal reproduction at Southern Illinois University Carbondale before joining UC Davis SVM Postdoctoral Scholar (Avian Welfare and Analgesia) program from 2016-2018. From 2018-2022 she worked at Auburn University as a AKC CHF TF Theriogenology Resident, before becoming the newest member of the Agnew Lab.

Abby Boss graduated with her bachelor's degree from Wheaton College in 2022. She is now a DVM student in the class of 2028 pursuing conservation, zoo, and wildlife medicine. Her research in the Agnew Lab investigates reproductive risk factors in zoo-managed callitrichids, small neotropical primates. Abby loves to walk and run with her German Shepherd Sasha, play and watch sports, read, and bake.

Grace Sherlitz completed her bachelor's degree in biological sciences at the University of Michigan-Dearborn and is currently a DVM candidate at Michigan State University in the class of 2029. She is deeply interested in zoo and wildlife medicine as well as pathology. Grace's research focuses on reproductive tract lesions and potential risk factors, including contraceptive use, in zoo-managed female bears. In her free time, she enjoys art, hiking, and spending time with her family and her dog, Jane.
