Officers 2008-2009

Role Name Major Bio
President Megan Animal Behavior Well-Being I am a senior. I work at Blair Animal Clinic, and I am focusing on behavior and training. I have worked with animals for 5 years. I plan on using my behavior/well-being degree and wildlife minor to not only train animals, but also educate the public, especially children, about animals.
Vice President Kendra Mathematics Pre-vet I volunteer at both the Tippecanoe Animal Hospital and in Oncology at the PUVTH. I also work in a genetics lab on campus. I have done an internship at Wolf Park, an animal science study abroad program in Honduras, and will be completing a fellowship this summer at the Seneca Park Zoo in Rochester, NY. I am a senior and am currently applying to vet schools with the hope of one day becoming a veterinarian at a zoo.
Treasurer Tori Animal Behavior Well-Being I work at Blair Animal Clinic where I do everything from being a veterinary assistant to monitoring dogs in playgroups to working in grooming. I used to work at a privately owned zoo for three years before coming to Purdue.
Secretary Anna Animal Science Pre-vet I work at PawPrints animal hospital and a department of the Purdue School of Veterinary Medicine. I am trying hard to achieve the 3 plus 1 program and plan to apply to the vet school at Purdue next summer. My dream is to be the lead veterinarian at a AZA acredited zoo.
Historian Katie Animal Behavior Well-Being I'm currently a junior in Animal Science Behavior/Well-Being. I work for the USDA as a member of the Livestock Behavior Research Unit. Also, I'm interning with the Columbian Park Zoo in Animal Care and Husbandry. This summer I'll be training lemurs and an African Crested Porcupine. Someday I hope to go to graduate school and study Reproductive Biology/Physiology and work closely with exotic animals.
Fundraiser Co-chair Erin Animal Behavior Well-being I worked at the Indianapolis Zoo for 5 years, and hope to have a career there one day. I volunteer at Wolf Park and Animalia, and am travelling to Australia this summer for a conservation project.
Fundraiser Co-chair Renee Nutrition, Fitness, and Health I'm from Mountainside New Jersey and will be a sophomore in the fall. In my free time I like to work out and play tennis with my friends. This summer I was a waitress, worked in a Toy Store, and volunteered at the Raptor Trust, and bird rehabilitation clinic. Whenever me and my friends had time off, we'd go to the beach. I'm look forward my fall semester at Purdue!
