As an Aquarium General Manager. I am passionate about connecting people with the world of water. I love seeing guests find their new favorite animal or habitat! To facilitate that, my team and I build connections to guests by creating interactive and exciting exhibits based around an area of the world, a specific habitat, or even a key species which help transport people out of the physical building and into the natural world. I have built and proven my skills for the 5 years I managed VIA Aquarium and grown its guest base and success year after year.I also translated that passion and creativity to another standalone interactive exhibit, VIA Dino Discovery. While the execution was different, our dinosaurs were animatronic models as opposed to living animals, the impetus was the same. I wanted to connect people to the history of our world through representations of creatures that have fascinated generations. I facilitated the partnership between VIA|Port and Dinoscapes to create this all new exhibit that exceeded projected pre-pandemic expectations post-pandemic reopening.
