Immersion Tour Guide

Jun 2015 - Mar 2020
Inspire conservation of the world’s aquatic treasures by providing guests with a unique behind-the-scenes tour and sleepover experience (which may include animal encounters, enrichment building, or special dolphin sessions) while prioritizing guest and animal safety. As a senior guide I also often acted as the lead, where I would mentor trainees, contact security as needed, and solve logistical complications among the team.

Facilitate an outdoor sleepover experience by helping guests erect their tents, leading them on an educational behind-the-scenes tour and night hike, and assisting with a hands-on activity like enrichment construction or owl pellet dissection/identification. Due to all my prior sleepover experiences, I often acted as lead and mentor as well.
