As a child I spent numerous afternoons with my grandparents. Naturally I was always curious about my grandpa’s outdoor ventures. I fondly remember him tending to his garden and caring for the neighborhood stray cats, one of which would always become his companion. His enjoyment in the outdoors left a lasting impression on me that sparked my fervor for the environment. Since his passing in 2005, I have kept his passion aflame.

My name is Lindsay, and I am currently a high school student in my hometown of San Diego. I have an older brother, Matt, who is presently studying at a maritime academy with hopes of becoming a ship captain. Unlike most siblings, he is one of my best friends. Thankfully I have two loving parents, Tim and Stephanie, who always support me in all of my endeavors. Currently I have two miniature dachshunds, Peanut and Pretzel, who are a major part of my home life.

If I am not volunteering with my school’s Key Club, I can be found outside on a walk or an adventure with my brother. When indoors I listen to music constantly while sewing, doing yoga, reading, or working on an art project. Most aren’t aware that I can’t live without my journal or a delicious cup of Bengal spice herbal tea.

Within the last year I have decided that my future will encompass a career focusing on animal biology. By participating in Zoo InternQuest I hope to gain a better understanding of the zoological sciences to find my niche in animal studies.

I am on the Zoo InternQuest Careers Team
