I was born and raised in central Ohio and graduated from Otterbein University in the Spring of 2022 with Bachelors degrees in Biology and Zoo Conservation Science. I have worked at both the Memphis Zoo and the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. I have a Saint Bernard Mastiff mix named Lincoln that I rescued off of a highway in Hocking Hills in 2018. He is a registered emotional support animal who has no idea what the concept of a “stranger” is! I also have previously worked in a doggy daycare and boarding setting for 4.5 years and always knew that I was destined to work alongside animals.
