Sloan is currently in her final year of veterinary medicine at University College Dublin and has previously completed a BSc Hons in Zoology at the University of Guelph in Canada. She has extensive hands-on experience with marine mammals in human care and rehabilitation settings, but her primary interests are in wild population health and anthropogenic disturbances.

Her current project is to establish a response protocol for cetaceans who are entangled in Irish waters.
