<p>Allison LeBlanc grew up in the Louisiana bayous before her career pulled her north to Nova Scotia-unknowingly retracing her Acadian ancestors' migration, just in reverse. Now a wildlife veterinarian specializing in turtles, she spends her days tracking endangered Blanding’s turtles around Kejimkujik National Park.</p><p>She jokes that she looks like the last person you’d want to run into in a dark swamp, but Allison is actually the first to put a nervous room at ease-usually long before anyone notices her rows of razor-sharp teeth. She’s just as comfortable knee-deep in marsh mud rescuing wildlife as she is losing track of time over coffee and board games with friends. 🐢</p>
