Hi! I’m Selena and I’m an exotic animal handler and Pet Tech Instructor!
I have always known I wanted to work with animals in my career, but have always had a curious mind to learn about all animals. I received a Bachelor’s degree in Biology and throughout college took every opportunity I could to work with animals. I have worked with marine mammals such as beluga whales, dolphins, and sea lions; I have also worked with penguins, sea otters, reptiles, fish, birds, amphibians, giraffes, and even elephants! I have a collection of reptiles at home which is my specialty, and I have learned to provide first aid to them through my many years as a reptile keeper. This inspired me to learn how to take care of my dog in an emergency, so I took a course with Pet Tech to become a Pet CPR Instructor! I feel that it’s vitally important to know how to take care of your pets in an emergency situation and I wanted to be able to share my knowledge with others. I work with Windy City CPR, a human CPR training facility to share life-saving knowledge for humans and for pets!
