Trainer/Former Zoo Atlanta zookeeper/Lover of wildlife: I love connecting with animals. I’ve been a pet owner/animal lover since birth. Growing up, we had everything from guinea pigs to parakeets to dogs/cats. I started riding horses at age 4, finally got my own at age 14, and showed throughout the SE until I was 18. My horse traveled with me across the US so I could complete college and keep my best friend by my side. I professionally trained animals at Zoo Atlanta (maybe you saw me at the bird show!? ?). I’ve worked with animal actors including a wolf, a fox, a coyote, and a raccoon. I’ve volunteered at Atlanta Humane Society for a combined 3 years total. Originally wanting to be a veterinarian, my education began at Colorado State, moved to Clemson, and finished with a BS in Biology/minor in Chemistry at GSU. During my time at GSU, I interned at Zoo Atlanta and fell in love with training and bonding with animals of every species. I love any and all animals and would be thrilled to meet you and yours!
