Hi, my name is Amelia. I am a tae-kwon-do kicking, salsa dancing, conservation enthusiast. Tae-kwon do has been my greatest passion since age four. Competition has been a key part of my training, anywhere from local tournaments in high school gymnasiums to the Junior Olympics in Orlando, Florida. I now teach children and young adults of different ranks. One of the most rewarding experiences is watching one’s students grow and learn self-confidence from the basics you teach them.

Salsa has been my weekend passion. My Friday nights are spent dancing to the strum of flamenco guitars and the tap of drums. Salsa dancing has varied for me from choreographed performances to casual dancing to a scratched CD in Spanish class.

I have loved animals since I was little, and I have been extremely lucky to partake in several conservation and animal protection programs. Conservation Corps has been my inspiration for the past four years. I plan to continue studying animal behavior in college and hopefully research animal behavior abroad.

I am on the Zoo InternQuest Conservation Team.
