What excites you about your career here at CLR?

A good portion of anyone’s career are the people you work with. I get to work with the nicest, smartest, most creative people out there. We partner with amazing people striving to conserve our natural world.

What do you like about exhibit design?

Each design is unique and customized for each project and client. This is challenging and rewarding work. Our designs are experienced by millions of zoo guests across the country and I’d like to think that I was responsible for inspiring at least one child towards a career in conservation.

What do you enjoy doing on the weekend?

Spending time with my family, making my daughters laugh, hiking, camping, gardening, completing home repairs.

Tell us something fun or funny about yourself that most people don’t know.

I’m a classic car buff and jealous of our CLR West crew that get to see classics driving by every day in southern California.
