Zoo am I? Amanda B!

My name is Amanda and I am one of the lucky interns here at North Ga Zoo! It’s kind of a funny story how I got here. Most of the other members of the zoo have backgrounds with animals, from Biology or Zoology degrees to Veterinary school, but here I am, with an English degree! Never in all my Shakespearean classes would I have imagined myself with a White Handed Gibbon around my neck or an African Crested Porcupine under my care. Just goes to show you, dream big because you never know what you can accomplish! -A

Glad to see that English degree being put to good use. And I hope you are gathering stories for your book that you're going to write...someday!
