I have a degree in Zoology and Animal Science from North Carolina State University. I just graduated school to train as a zookeeper and received a degree in Zoo Science Technology. I have been working at the North Carolina Zoo for the past year as a seasonal keeper in their Swamp, Desert and Aviary sections. I have been certified in Wildlife Rehab and as a Veterinary Assistant in separate college courses. I have been taught animal training techniques and studied behavior. I have worked at two separate veterinary clinics taking care of animals including dogs of all sizes and ages and plenty of cats, too. For two years, I worked at a doggy day care in Raleigh supervising large groups of dogs during play times and taking care of boarding pets. Previously I have interned with SciWorks in Winston-Salem, Zoo Knoxville, and the Greensboro Science Center all working with a variety of wild animals. I am now working towards a PhD and taking online courses, this allows me open day availability for taking care of pets!
