Bio

I am a returning adult determined to finish my biology degree. While I keep my family life private in my bio, I want you to know more about my love and dedication towards nature and education. My background in the veterinary field plus my current work as a private tutor makes me want to work in conservation or rehabilitation for animals, or incorporate animals into education for children. I believe kids should get outside frequently and often, there is so much to learn from animals. I have gained so much satisfaction in my work with animals, it is a very rewarding field. The gap in my education does not equate to a lack of learning. I learned many life skills from work experience and was able to find where my passions truly lie.
