Hannah recently took the Animal Training and Care course at Unity College with Professor Kristyn Vitale.
"Before starting at Unity College, I received my Associate of Science degree from a local community college and decided to follow my lifelong dream of working with animals. I knew that I had to stay at home no matter what major I chose, and I had limited options close to me. I saw an ad for Unity and immediately felt that it would be a perfect fit for me!
I live in a small town in East Texas. I was born in Louisiana and lived there for 10 years before my family moved to Texas.
I chose Unity College because they offer 100% online programs, which is what I needed. I have been taking online classes with Unity for 10 months and am majoring in Animal Health and Behavior. I love how convenient the classes are, and I have already learned so much. I am hoping that my education at Unity will help me learn about the best ways to care for captive animals and study wild ones.
I learned a lot from the Animal Care and Training class that will be useful in my zoology career. Through provided learning materials, discussion posts, and other assignments, I was able to discover new methods of animal care and training. My favorite part of the class was learning about different enrichment activities, how to monitor an animal’s welfare and different training methods.
My main goal for the future is to work with animals in captivity and research animals in the wild. I would also like to get some internship experience in the near future. Working with animals has always been a dream of mine, and ever since enrolling at Unity, I have felt confident that I can achieve this goal."
