I have been involved with AAZK as a National member for almost 20 years. I have participated with my local chapters in Kansas City and Orlando by being an officer, participating in fundraisers and conservation projects including BFR and as a conference treasurer chair. I have been helping develop the National Conservation Committee the last couple of years as a Co-Chair. I am now honored to have been selected as a National Board member.

I received my BS Degree in Zoology from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, IL and have had the privledge to care for, enrich and train many species of animals at the Utica Zoo, NY, the Kansas City Zoo, MO and Disney's Animal Kingdom, FL.

I make my home with my husband, Matt, our dogs Apollo and Heather, our cat Curiosity, and our fish!
