What excites you about your career here at CLR?

I love what we do here at CLR. Being part of giving zoo animals a place to roam, explore, and challenging them with mind-based activities, while at the same time teaching the next generation about conservation is an exciting experience.

What do you like about exhibit design?

I love how we are teaching people that conservation is important and bringing to the forefront the need for everyone to care about their environment whether it’s locally or somewhere you might never see in your lifetime.

What do you enjoy doing on the weekend?

I love to garden and organize (I am an organization nerd). I also love to make flower arrangements.

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

I am not afraid of alligators. I grew up in Florida and my family lived near a canal. Since alligators like to sun themselves, we knew that we needed to find out where the alligators were sunning in the yard and use the opposite door to go outside.
