About Partnership Engineering, LC

"Partnership Engineering" is not about body language, it's like nothing you've ever learned before..."

"The knowledge set is so primal that it's hard to describe in human words, but it's easy to learn."

"Casey has an invaluable 'wide view' of comparative social behavior and learning that could not have been found in any PhD program."

" the implications are staggering..."

Partnership Engineering Founder

Casey Sugarman has been gathering unique experiences as an animal behaviorist and an organizational operations expert for many years. Sugarman spent 10 years in exotic animal case management as veterinary biologist at Boston's New England Aquarium and was co-designer of the Aquarium's Public-Interactive Veterinary Hospital. Sugarman has translated decades of animal-intense experience into applications that improve human social dynamics.

Learning styles that apply to all species from octopus to human led Sugarman to develop Will-Skill, an applied choice-modification skillset curriculum. Will-Skill has applications in human education and training, medical case management, physical and psychological rehabilitation, and business learning. Sugarman teaches the Will-Skill method of communication to trainers, educators, coaches, associations, and companies. Sugarman earned her degree in Biology and Philosophy from Boston University and lives in Lyme, Connecticut.

Clinical: Perform triage, treatment, management of all medical cases: plan and perform examinations, diagnostics, treatments, and necropsies. Perform weekly medical rounds assessment with problem recognition for large whale, cetacean, pinniped, avian, reptile, amphibian, fish and elasmobranchs, and terrestrial and marine invertebrate phyla.

Research: perform original research and collaborate with outside investigators on research clinically significant for NEA species. Radiographic gender determination in sea turtles and diagnostic ultrasound applications in seals and sea lions, trans-esophageal diagnostic ultrasound of penguins, observational learning in cuttlefish (squid), and voluntary restraint in fishes.

Diagnostic: anesthesia, diagnostic ultrasound and radiographic examinations, assist in surgical plans, preparation, and act as surgical assistant for all non-mammalian species. Maintain and operate medical diagnostic and therapeutic equipment (radiology, ultrasonography, endoscopy, hematology, microscopy, surgical, anesthetic, vitals monitoring).

Life Support: one million gallon facility, water quality analysis including federally required microbiological analysis, life support system maintenance, chemistry trouble-shooting, electronics, and equipment maintenance. Administer aquatic system pharmaceutical treatments in conjunction with aquarist and Mechanical Systems staff. Make complex animal health decisions in the multi-variable chemical setting encountered in an open/closed, inner harbor sourced system.

Library: department historian, tracking changes in goals, design, management, and resources over 10 years of operation. Produce accurate and complete medical records, create formats, created vertical library for relevant natural history and medical literature cross-referenced by technology, animal class, and species.
