Q: What have you done professionally since leaving the Wildlife Center?
To say I was nervous coming to the Wildlife Center was an understatement.
As a part of our “Where Are They Now?” series, we had an e-interview with Dr. Camille (Harris) Hopkins, who was our veterinary intern in 2005 – 2006.
Q: What have you done professionally since leaving the Wildlife Center?
We followed Lacy Kegley, the Wildlife Center's vice president, one day just after the new year.
During my rehabilitation externship at the Wildlife Center of Virginia, I learned that people struggle to understand and connect with snakes, a reptile commonly seen in our state. As an extern, I worked hands-on with non-releasable education snakes as well as patient snakes, which undergo rehabilitation with the intent of being returned to the wild. Working with snakes made me realize that, even I -- an animal lover -- initially struggled to warm up to these cold-blooded creatures.
When I count my blessings from 2018, and those of the Wildlife Center of Virginia, I put our generous donors at the top of that list.
My job gives me the opportunity to make better this country (U.S.), my country (Mexico), and the world, doing good, fair, beneficial, and true meaningful things for wildlife.
The fourth best part of the day was the Big Fish version of how the day ended ...
It’s hard to pick the best part of working at The Wildlife Center: the animals or the people.
After the release, things went … much less smoothly.
