Hi there, my name is Emmalee! While I haven’t been an employee of Scales and Tails for very long, I’ve known the animals and some of the other employees for many years! I started out doing a zookeeper program I got as a Christmas gift and absolutely loved it. I’ve loved animals and especially reptiles for as long as I can remember, and I found a place where I could interact with these animals on a regular basis. I came in every weekend until I found out they allowed people to volunteer. I began volunteering when I was only 11 years old. I spent my entire summer break cleaning animal poop and doing dishes. Looking back, I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.
Sadly, I wasn’t able to continue volunteering shortly after the beginning of Covid and life got busy. I didn’t begin volunteering until October of 2024. I had always wanted to work with this company, it was a dream of mine since I did my first zookeeper camp all those years ago, and when I saw they were hiring I had to jump on that opportunity to give so many kids the same experiences and opportunities I was given thanks to Scales and Tails. This has been the best job in the world, and I can’t believe I get to work with so many amazing people and animals! Hope to see all of you reptile fans at Scales and Tails soon!
