Growing up I have always had a strong interest for animals, especially exotics. I am a recent graduate from Purdue University with a degree in Animal Science-behavior and well-being and minors in forensics, biology, and anthropology. I am currently working for a contract research organization but always keeping an eye out for a permanent position with a zoo or animal sanctuary. I spend my spare time doing photography. Most of my work is of animals and landscapes but I am beginning to do portraits as well. Check out my website www.natureswonder.photoreflect.com to see examples of my work.
