On a day-to-day basis, I work on a lot of the Zoo's media relations and public relations; and I'm constantly learning about the thousands of animals that are cared for here at the Zoo.

I try not to say I have a "favorite" animal here at the Zoo, but if I had to pick a few that I'm partial to I'd have to include: the elephants, New Guinea singing dogs, gorillas, koalas, orangutans, sloth bears and "Shadow" -- the miniature horse in our Australian Adventure area. He's the best!
