Can I Run Something By You? ·

2025/10/14

Ever wondered what it takes to become a zookeeper? In this episode, I share my own winding path into the field- a "figure-it-out-as-I-go" journey that isn't the one I would recommend today. From unexpected turns to lessons learned, I talk about what aspiring keepers can really expect (including how much of the job actually comes down to working well with people) plus a few honest tips for getting your foot in the door and thriving once you're in.

Can I Run Something By You? ·

2025/09/02

This episode is different. It's personal. In this brief episode, I want to share the story of Elok, a Sumatran orangutan who changed my life. From the moment I first met him as an ornery 8 yr old juvenile, to the bond we built over the years, and the heartbreak of losing him too soon- Elok's story is one of love, loss, and what it means to form deep connections with animals. Along the way, I reflect on the paradox of working in animal care: being told not to project or anthropomorphize,...

Botswana and the Okavango Delta

Can I Run Something By You? ·

2025/08/20

I recently returned from a field course to the Okavango Delta in Botswana as a study abroad course through Arizona State University. After 30 years post high school graduation I was set to finally take my last undergraduate class and make it to Africa. With more than 25 years in the animal field, this was going to be the ultimate way to complete my degree. But Botswana and this course changed everything.
