I graduated with a BS in Animal Ecology with a minor in Environmental Studies from Iowa State University. I received my first professional job as a Naturalist at Burr Oak Woods Nature Center in Blue Springs, Missouri. I worked for one year and was presented with two opportunities. One was to work at the [|Kansas City Zoo]. The other was to work at the [|Iowa 4-H Education and Natural Resources Center] in Madrid, Iowa.

I still dreamed about working with wild animals and always wanted to work in a zoo. I had spent a summer working as a camp counselor at the Iowa 4-H Center. I loved the staff and the beautiful 1,100 acres of forest and prairie where the camp was located. My next decision was to stay in Kansas City to work at the zoo or move back to Iowa to work at the Iowa 4-H center.

Please choose one of the following:
