Marissa Ayers

Passionate about wildlife conservation and protecting natural spaces, I’ve always had a strong connection to the outdoors—growing up on the water and developing a deep appreciation for Florida’s diverse ecosystems. I hold boating and scuba diving certifications, and I’m committed to preserving the environment. With over seven years of experience in the dog industry, I’m especially interested in roles that integrate K9 work into park operations. My background also includes horseback riding and working with horses, which has taught me discipline, responsibility, and the importance of teamwork. I hold a concealed weapons permit and am fully prepared to support park safety and uphold conservation laws. I’m eager to bring my skills, dedication, and passion to a Park Ranger position and contribute to the protection and stewardship of Florida’s natural resources.
