About Zoe Clarke:

I've been in many fields of animal care, including sectors of ecology, botany, agriculture and wildlife management. I enjoy every aspect of Animal Management, whether it be the husbandry of reptiles, insects, birds etc', wildlife management and control, or knowing the best and humane actions to take when the welfare of an animal is at stake. 

I always strive to keep learning no matter how morally difficult some tasks may seem. Always seek to be the best you can be and know who you are.
