JUNE'S MEETING 6/3/18 @ 3PM
My name is Robin, I’m a Naturalist at the Museum of Science and History (MOSH), which basically means I’m an animal keeper. Being from Massachusetts, I had the great opportunity to attend an agricultural high school where I studied veterinary science. This allowed me to gain many of the skills I use today as an animal keeper. For college, I attended the University of New Hampshire and received a bachelor’s of science degree in Zoology with a focus in animal behavior. After graduating college, I applied my research skills as an adult volunteer for the non-living collection at MOSH identifying unlabeled collections pieces and updating condition reports. A few months later, I was hired as a Naturalist which was amazing. I love getting to work with and take care of the animals every day. Another main part of my job is to educate visitors about Florida native animals through interactive programming. I am looking forward to speaking with the Jacksonville Herpetological Society about what it means to be an animal keeper and about what our Florida Naturalist Center volunteers get the opportunity to do.
