Summary

I am passionate about animal care, conservation, and education, with hands-on experience through internships at the North Carolina Zoo, Greensboro Science Center, Rescue Ranch, and Red Dog Farms. I graduated in May 2026 with an Associate of Applied Science degree in Zoological Science Technology. I enjoy creating positive experiences for both animals and people while bringing strong teamwork, communication, and a hardworking attitude to every opportunity.
