Summary

I am commited to ensuring the ethical care for all wildlife, pets, and farm animals. I strive to improve my operant conditioning of animals to ensure they are able to receive the best care in the least stressful way.

I am dedicated to the conservation of Florida’s environment - and have a falconry bird that has taught me about sustainable hunting, conservation, and ways to be more mindful of the animals and world around me.
