As an Education Animal Ambassador and Instructor at SeaWorld Orlando, I care for and handle a variety of animals including sharks, amphibians, reptiles, and penguins. As an Animal Ambassador, I am responsible for showcasing animals for live-camera shows and guest interactions. For the past year, I have worked extensively with Magellanic penguins, identifying new behavior training needs, conducting trainings for guest interactions, and developing safe handling standard operating procedures. I also train instructors on handling and presenting animals for guests, camps, and sleepovers. I assist in animal medical exams and documentation of behaviors, diet, and growth; and maintaing animal habitats. I strive to connect guests to SeaWorld’s animals by presenting interactive and fun narrations and showcasing SeaWorld’s dedication to animals, their care, and their environment.
