Hello what a dream job, I am a physical therapy technologist for many years but for years now I've been in ambassador at Cleveland metropark zoo. I educate hundreds and hundreds of people on weekends about our amazing zoo our SSP programs and of course our conservation I've been doing this a number of years now and if I had known many years ago this is what I wanted to do for my career I would have changed it although I love physical therapy, this is truly what I have a passion for I'm very experienced and presenting to the public to my patients to their families and to physicians and I'm very comfortable to speak to many adults many groups or individuals and children I teach to the age of the people listening and let them form their own thoughts and encourage them to think my goal at the zoo is to have everybody who lives there who I contact to leave with more passion and more excitement then they have ever thought of before before coming to our zoo. This is a dream job of mine I have many incredible references over the years and many at the zoo also James bluher and Emily baer I have many great relationships with their animals and our zookeepers I'm looking so forward to interviewing with all of you thank you for the opportunity. I am much better in person and one-on-one communication or in large groups I'm very outgoing very friendly and a great listener. Again I want to thank you all so much.

Professional experience I've been a physical therapy technician for many many years ran my own strength training program present to physicians and families and patients I'm always in contact with family members about any situation that may arise conduct family trainings and also work with their admissions team at our hospital but as I mentioned before, I've been at the zoo a number of years now and have great passion for SSP and conservation I educate hundreds and hundreds of people every weekend at Cleveland metropark zoo as much as a passion as therapy was this is much more of a passion for me if I would have known many years ago this is what I would have done for my whole career I've got lots of energy I can work at any time people see me as friendly outgoing fun and I have them really and create a passion inside of them that they never knew they had before. I've got many incredible references some even here at the zoo with our volunteer administrators James and Emily being two of them I am very close friends with a lot of keepers as I've come to know them and work with them I love my animals I love what we do here I love what we're doing for our animals for our environment and for our people. My goal when people leave here is to create more passion and more love and more desire to learn more that they ever knew they had before not just to come to see the animals but to get involved this is a dream position for me. Thank you

My most relevant education is working in the therapy field with the public with patients with doctors with family members and not only that more importantly is working at a zoo that's the education I get all the time every month when we do our zoom calls every weekend when I chat with my keepers they know me very well
