Employed at Lincoln Park Zoo since 1994, was a docent there from 1987-1994 but I've been visiting the zoo as far back as I have memories. I have been assigned to work in the Children's Zoo, Nights, Primate House, Large Mammal, Small Mammal/Reptile and currently working at the African Journey (formally Large Mammal). I have also filled in at The Farm in the Zoo, Antelope Zebra and the Ape House. I was our AAZK chapter president for 3 years, Treasurer for 5 years and Liaison for 3 years. I have been on 3 Earthwatch expeditions (so far), Eucalyptus Forest Life, Mexican Forest Carnivores and Saving Sweetwaters Rhinos. I have traveled to Australia , Peru , Kenya 2x, Mexico and Alaska on eco friendly trips. I have a bachelors degree in Anthropology.
