She began her career in the zoological profession where she was the Animal Programs Manager for the Philadelphia Zoo, Curator of Education for the Audubon Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans, and Assistant Director for the Central Park Zoo in New York. Her consulting projects include program and exhibit design for the EcoCentro Nature Center in Patagonia, Argentina the Black Lion Tamarin field research and education project in Brazil exhibit design for Taipei Zoo and project manager for Wildlife In Need, a future sanctuary for bull elephants.
