Summary
With a background in animal care and welfare, I have gained valuable experience as a Zoo Guide. This experience deepened my passion for animal behavior and conservation, particularly for Kea parrots. I am excited to apply my skills in compassionate handling and my understanding of animal needs to contribute to behavioral research. I am especially interested in studying the ethology of Kea parrots, with a strong desire to participate in research that furthers the understanding of their complex behaviors and conservation. I am excited about the opportunity to bring my passion for animals into a focused, scientific environment.
