What excites you about your career here at CLR?

I’m excited to be able to combine my two passions: animals and design. Not to mention, it’s great to work with a fun and knowledgeable team who care about what we do, including our leopard gecko, O.P. (office pet).

What do you like about exhibit design?

With every project and critter, we have the chance to explore never-before-seen ideas that promote their special set of skills and inspire humans to take part in their conservation.

What do you enjoy doing on the weekend?

I don’t always leave my house, but when I do, I enjoy propagating plants, collecting tchotchkes for my desk, jigsaw-puzzling with my grandparents, shopping for chenille sweaters, and walking my two Alaskan Malamutes, Lizzie and Teemu.

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

When I was little, I wanted to grow up to be a cowgirl…this is as close as I could get and also have a 401k.
