What I've been up to the last 10 years:
While in college, studying to be an English teacher- I decided that being an animal trainer was my dream job- so I went for it!! I worked super hard (joined a swimming team, double majored in psychology, had lasik eye surgery, etc...) and for the past 5 years I've been working at SeaWorld Orlando training marine mammals and performing in shows. I have had a blast developing relationships with killer whales, sea lions, otters, and walrus'. I also enjoy doing the shows (although the summer schedule is EXHAUSTING!) and educating the public on these amazing animals that have become part of my family. Getting to spend my work day with animals that I absolutely love is a dream come true.
