I will be talking about my 10 plus year career in zoos and nature centers and how I got there. I’ll also talk about my background and experience and various career paths in zoos from education to keeper and commissary and trainer. I’ll also talk about AZA (Association of Zoo & Aquariums) vs ZAA (Zoological Association of America’s) and private zoos and accreditation standards as well as internships and volunteer opportunities and how they differ. I’ll answer any and all questions about zoos and starting a career in exotic animal care. This class is appropriate for high school aged kids. I ask that students please message me about their interests and US state (if located in the US) so I can provide the best information possible.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a former zookeeper and educator for over 10 years. I have taught all grade levels, scouts, adults, homeschool and other special interest groups. I currently teach mostly bug-based classes as Kim’s Critter Classes for homeschool and scout groups.
My classes are discussion based where the students lead the learning within the topic of the class. I include both biofacts and live animals and insects in my classes and try to incorporate a craft or game with every lesson.
I have hand-raised kangaroos, binturongs, aardvarks and other animals that are in zoos across the country. I have also presented animals on tour with Jack Hanna.
Please message me to schedule a class as I have returned to full time work.
