I have worked for San Diego Zoo Global for nearly all my adult life. My time as a tour guide for the zoo allowed me to connect people with wildlife in a unique way. As my career as a tour guide progressed I became a Lead in the transportation department and eventually I trained new hires on bus operation and the oral presentation. My duties as a Lead included computer data entry; tracking riders, labor hours and zoo attendance. I also operated the Zoo's courtesy shuttle, helping people with disabilities reach different destinations in the Zoo. After some time off to take care of family I am looking to re-enter the workforce.
