Its a full circle moment again in my life. I started at Busch Gardens in 2007 seasonally in entertainment but in March 2008 I joined the Zoo Education and Conservation department and found my family and home. This weekend I began to transition from my part-time keeper role in the Animal Care Center (which I deeply love and miss already) to a full-time Senior Educator role back in the Zoo Education and Conservation department. I am excited to continue to build my skills as a science communicator, increase access to conservation and zoo related sciences for all populations, help train and inspire future educators, animal care professionals, conservationists, advocates, and more as well as staying rooted in the facility and zoo that inspired me in this field from an early age.

One of my goals this year was to unplug and recharge in nature at least once a month. This month not only did my unplug help me with professional development but it greatly opened up my options for nature exploration.

This is what it looks like to wear a mask! No I don't mean my woody double layered hand stitched health and safety mask. This last few weeks have been incredibly trying for me. My depression and anxiety has been kicked into high gear. I haven't been sleeping well amongst numerous other things. But, I put on my happy face mask everyday so not to burden others with my mental health and its not okay.

Starting my new year off right! Began the day with some tall blondes who are reminding us to keep our chins up and ended it hanging out with my granny. Looking forward to all the things 2021 has in store. (With Ruby the Reticulated Giraffe)

I know 2020 was a rough one and it won't be instantly easier tomorrow. But 2020 wasn't all bad. For me it was full of *Magic* and these are the memories I am choosing to carry forward.

As we near the end of 2020 here is a little reminder to be grateful for the small things. This year may not have gone as anyone would have hoped but I bet it was still filled with small little wonderful moments.
