Unique traits: I love working for causes from wildlife, to urban renewal, to military family support. I have worked in zoos and conservation for 20 years. While with Polar Bears International I visited wild polar bears in the tundra, with a group of teenagers from around the world, every fall for 5 years! While at the San Diego Zoo, I visited pandas in China and searched for tree kangaroos in Australia.

  Urban Wildlife Family A zookeeper who prefers animals to people must take over as zoo director to save her beloved small town zoo and her own family. The lives of the animals are intertwined with the lives of the people who care for them and the larger global issues of habitat loss, climate change, poaching, overfishing, anti-zoo protests, and rewilding.

  On a Roll Documentary Co-hosted by a professional triathlete and a food buff, this docu-series visits local, colorful community members who are getting fit and are helping others too. Each week is a new town where the local guest cyclist goes on their favorite bike ride to show off their town and share their story.Then they visit their favorite restaurant where the chef, guest, and hosts modify a "guilty pleasure" meal to make it healthier, in spirit of "Eat this, not that".
