Summary

I am a young retired teacher with a passion for helping people learn. My other passion is animals. For 10 out of the 30 years of my career, I was able to combine both passions as I taught in an elementary science lab. I had live animals, such as tarantulas, iguanas, exotic birds, turtles, hedgehogs, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, a variety of snakes, and my two cats, in the lab. I used them to teach my students about the animals' roles in the various habitats around the world. Over the years, I developed a deep knowledge of animals and their care. I would love the opportunity to, again, work with animals as an Early Morning Stocker at Pet Smart.
