ABOUT MEAn Irresistible OpportunityAs an undergraduate senior at Fort Hays State University studying Biology and Organizational Leadership I have the privilege of being a participant in the VALUE (Voss-Advanced Leadership Undergraduate Experience) program. Through this experience I have been challenged and mentored by some of the best in the industry. This project came up over the course of my time working as an intern and later a summer keeper at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium in Omaha, Nebraska working in the Hoofstock Department. Never have I worked with a better, more experienced group of zookeepers. Much of the knowledge and ability to observe these impeccable animals is due to their confidence in me and my abilities as a scientist and zookeeper, and to them and so many others I owe a great deal.

My Journey through uncharted territory.
Throughout the course of the semester reflections were gathered, mentor meetings scheduled, unexpected successes achieved, making this journey all the more sweet working alongside other students in the program and other collaborators that helped my project see fruition.
