Hannah McDougall · Director of Communications

Hannah graduated from the University of Delaware with a degree in Wildlife Conservation and Ecology and a minor in Biological Sciences. She was introduced to the field of wildlife rehabilitation through an internship at the Mercer County Wildlife Center, where she later became a staff member. 

Shortly after graduating, Hannah relocated from her home in Hamilton, New Jersey, to follow her passions to Pelican Harbor, where she fell in love with Florida's unique variety of wildlife while treating patients in the clinic and serving as the Rescue and Release Coordinator.

Hannah now uses the first-hand experiences that she gained while working in the wildlife clinic to help promote the important work that Pelican Harbor does, and to create and foster meaningful relationships within the community.

She also serves on the Board of the National Wildlife Rehabilitator's Association (NWRA), which is dedicated to improving and promoting the profession of wildlife rehabilitation and its contributions to preserving natural ecosystems.

In her free time, Hannah can be found cooking, reading, snorkeling, and snuggling her English Mastiff, Mika.
