I have always loved reptiles. My
first reptile is my Eastern Box Turtle which I still have
today. I also have volenteered at three different
zoos: Indianapolis Zoo, Columbian Park Zoo (lafayette,
IN), and Ueno Zoo, Tokyo Japan. (The picture is of me
at Ueno Zoo with a komodo dragon, summer of 2001)
Currenly I am studying biochemistry as an
undergraduate. I hope to go to graduate school and
study chemical signaling between reptiles. Of course
becoming a zookeeper is my backup plan if all my PhD
attempts fail. I figure I might as well get paid for
doing something I enjoy. |
