"I enjoy the relationships I have built with some of the animals that I work with and being able to help them adjust to different habitats. I also enjoy working with Zoologists from other facilities since I am responsible for the intake of any new animals. It allows me to get to learn from others and build relationships. I least enjoy that I at times have to make hard decisions involving animals. While I always make the best decision for the animal, those decisions can at times weigh on you."
