Sarah has always loved animals. Ever since she could walk, she was playing with frogs. Sarah grew up with an assortment of animals from dogs to reptiles. She got her first frog when she was in 3rd grade. Sarah loves her job because no two days are ever the same. She gets to travel, meet new people, and educate children. Many students Sarah speaks to may never get to visit a zoo. Not only does she show them exotic animals, they see animals that not all zoos have!!!
