Colorado State University

I'm originally from Pennsylvania and graduated from a small liberal arts college outside of Pittsburgh in 2022. After graduating college, I worked as an Animal Ambassador Keeper at the Lincoln Children's Zoo in Lincoln, NE. I worked with many different kinds of animals such as cheetahs, giant anteaters, serval, two-toed sloth, prehensile-tail porcupine, and more. I conducted programs with some of these animals to teach our guests about the different species and conservation efforts we supported at the zoo. I've always been interested in furthering my education, so in my search for graduate studies I found this program and made the move out to Colorado to continue learning about animals and animal management. I've never been to Colorado before, so I'm super excited to be here!
