Bio

Some of my life goals are to finish my bachelor's degree in Coastal and Marine Biology at the University of North Florida and have an internship at my local zoo (Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens) so I can have hands-on work experience. In addition, if possible, I would love to be able to get work experience at an exotic vet or a bird hospital. After that, I aim for a job working at a rehabilitation center for either marine animals or wildlife. My passion is the welfare of animals, and I enjoy sharing my knowledge with my peers. I have always had a passion for animals and wildlife since I was very young. The passion has just been growing over the years as I have been able to be exposed to other animals, whether it be on land or sea.
