I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I currently reside in Long Beach, California with my most-adored sigificant other and our two kitties, Casiopeia and Athena . I'm an environmental enthusiast and conservationist. I work in a public Aquarium in the Education Department, as well as volunteering with our marine mammals in the Husbandry Department. I also volunteer at the LA Zoo which is always an adventure! I have way too many interests to list here, but a few of my favorite things are cats, marine mammals, pubs, good friends, good beer, an occasional night out clubbing, anything water-related, dining out, wine tasting, and anything else I might find adventurous and/or exciting. I frequently update my Flickr Photo Page which can be found here:
