Her exciting career has included caring for a population of Ring-Tailed Lemurs on an island off the Georgia coast, caring for San Clemente Loggerhead Shrikes on an island off California, serving as a research technician for Diamondback Terrapins, monitoring Sea Turtle nests (Georgia coast), and working was an AmeriCorps rehab technician at the Georgia Sea Turtle Center. She also served as the Husbandry/Research Technician for the Florida Grasshopper Sparrow Recovery Project.
