I am here for Friends

About Me

I currently work as an Animal Keeper at Rowan Wildlife Adventures in Salisbury, NC and I am also a Student Zookeeper at Davidson County Community College, Zoo and Aquarium Science Program, with an internship at the NC Zoological Park. I love OWLS, my bunny (Dhabi) and my kitties (Simon and Bella). I hope to eventually work specifically with owls, of all kinds, and make a difference somehow. I completed three years at Appalachian State University as a Violin Performance major [then a Music Industries major, then a Geography major...] before I got completely burnt out. I've been playing the violin since I was three and love it deeply. I also enjoy exploring the woods, which is where I spend a good amount of my time. I love anything having to do with nature and being raised in the country (before the developers came to try and take over), I naturally love wildlife. You can usually find me outside at night, calling for my owls and listening to the coyotes. I'm a Southern Girl and that ain't ever gonna change! (& I love OWLS).

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

All Kinds of OWLS.
