My good friend Alicia told me I should start a blog just to document my experiences at America’s Teaching Zoo. (EATM program: Exotic Animal Training and Management). Such an awesome idea as last August when I was researching EATM, I searched for such a blog but didn’t find one. So here it is! I will do my best to update this on a regular basis, to be completely honest, and to show as many pictures as I can.
If someone was to tell me a year ago that I would be moving to another country by myself to attend a 2 year Exotic Animal Training program, I probably would have thought they were crazy. But at the end of August last summer, I heard about the EATM program and did as much research as I could. I knew almost instantly that this was where I wanted to be, what I wanted to do. And now a lifelong dream is becoming a reality. I know the next 2 years are going to be incredibly hard, incredibly exhausting, but overall: INCREDIBLE. I can’t wait.
The entire story of how I heard of EATM and how I got to be here can be read here
Tomorrow is the first official day of Orientation week at EATM. The day I have been waiting for and hoping for, for 11 months. Today all 50 first year EATM students had to go to the college’s Health Center for complete physicals. It is mandatory that we have this done to proceed with the program. We also are required to have a TB test, certain Vaccinations (MMR, Tetanus) and Hepatitis B is recommended as well.

You get to train a rat?? Thats so cool, I’m very interested in your animal adventures lol. I work at a Veterinary hospital but it’s not very exciting
I want to work with the big cats but that ain’t gonna happen so I’ll live vicariously though you, if that’s ok ha ha ha.
have fun at orientation week.
