Zoo Animal Camp

Hello, my name is Tracy and live in Farmington, MN. I grew up in a rural town of northern Wisconsin near Duluth, MN. I have two beautiful daughters aged 10 and 14 years. They are Girl Scouts and I volunteer for their troops. My pets include 1 cat and 4 guinea pigs. My hobbies are knitting, crocheting and crafting. I love to go camping and hiking to get out into nature. I have a passion for conservation, animals, science and the environment. My favorite animals as a child were whales and dolphins, and I always dreamed of becoming a marine biologist. I decided to attend college at the University of WI-Superior, where I majored in aquatic biology. After college, I got my first job as a Zookeeper Aide at the Lake Superior Zoo in Duluth. I then met my husband and we moved to the Twin Cities. Most recently, I was employed at the Minnesota Zoo where I’ve been a Bird and Mammal Zookeeper, a Llama Trek Naturalist and a Butterfly Zoologist. I love educating people about passions, especially science and the natural world.
