(Ongoing) Zoology & Wildlife Animal Veterinary Club

This 25-minute class gathers weekly to allow students to learn from me: a real-life, enthusiastic and excited, animal scientist! After working in a zoo and in the veterinary industry the past 20 years, I'm excited to share what I've learned. Slides are shared from my screen during class to provide real visuals for students. Some photos are of me out in the field!

🔹 Please Note: 💥 We will never diagnose, treat, or prescribe medications to real pets per O.S. Policy and U.S. Federal Law. The teacher will never give real medical advice 💥 

🔹 All students are welcome, students are given opportunities to develop their communication skills, analytical skills, and problem-solving skills without pressure. However, after verification, I do not require students speak or have cameras on.
