 A recent graduate of Kent State University with a major in Zoology, she had the privilege of interning at the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium in the Conservation Education Department last summer. Currently, she is excited to embark on my journey at Hidden Valley as a vet tech. When not immersed in the world of animals, she indulges in my hobbies, which include binge-watching movies and TV shows, spending quality time with loved ones, exploring the Outer Banks, and delving into captivating books. Her loyal companion, Spartan, a 16-year-old mini dachshund, remains her constant source of joy and comfort. She is looking forward to more adventures and learning experiences ahead!
