I am not yet fully self sufficient yet as I'm still living with my Parents but I earn enough to get by in the animal husbandry industry, working at the Museum as Live Animals Curator and at Arataki visitor centre maintaining their displays also.
In the future, I want to be a field researcher in Congo and Rwanda studying Gorilla behavior and monitoring poaching/ land encroachment etc. (Will hopefully get a 1 year contract next year before studying my Masters in Primatology at Oxford. Id also like to work with Crocs in queensland at some stage in my career (crocs are fascinating creatures), and with Tigers in Bangladesh and India, although my number one focus at the moment is on Primatology.
