Ever since I was a little kid, I wanted to work with animals. The animal trainers that I got to know during my childhood were my heroes and role models and they were everything that I wanted to become. I never lost focus on that dream. Every project I had to do in school somehow revolved around caring for animals. My senior project in high school was about being an animal trainer and caretaker and my high school senior research paper was entitled "Positive Reinforcement: Why is it Better?" I have always been obsessed, to say the least. Through my time at Saint Vincent College, I continued to hone my skills and knowledge, focusing my studies on biology and psychology, the cornerstones of understanding animals, their behaviors, and how to work with and train them in a positive and productive way. The theme of training animals continued through my various course projects here as well, including my senior research thesis that involved training a raven to distinguish between different colors. My passion for working with animals has carried me through my career. Over the years, I have continued to work on myself and develop my skills to help me be the best animal trainer that I can be. I am tenacious, organized, highly motivated, and a team player. I am always looking for new ways to make myself better so that I can find new and better ways to care for and train the animals under my care. This field also gives me the chance to make a positive difference in the world by helping to educate and motivate people to make changes in their lives that will help protect our environment for future generations. I try to never lose sight of the fact that the animals that I care for are ultimately the vessels which help people to find a renewed love for nature and being able to provide these animals with the highest levels of care make that connection possible. While I am passionate, I am also ambitious. I do not want to merely settle for what I am at any given moment. Even when I am home, I am constantly thinking about new ideas and finding new inspirations for how to care for the animals that I work with everyday. My passion for this field will never relent and I hope that one day it will lead me to the chance to advance my career and give me the ability to make even greater changes.

Listed skills include Animal Husbandry, Biology, Animal Behavior, Animal Training, and 24 others.
