Cleveland Museum of Natural History

Education

As an educator, I presented semi-daily “keeper talks” focused on interpretation of behavior, natural history, and conservation to museum visitors of diverse ages and backgrounds. These keeper talks featured river otters, porcupines, raccoons, bobcats, red-tailed hawks, turkey vultures, and snowy owls. 

Animal Care

As an animal care specialist, I provided daily care for native Ohio mammals, reptiles, and raptors. This care included diet preparation and feeding as well as enrichment design and delivery. I was also responsible for the maintenance of outdoor and indoor enclosures and the kenneling training regimen of the resident female red fox.
