Amanda recently took the Animal Training & Care course at Unity College with Professor Gina Caldwell.
"My name is Amanda Lietuvnikas. I am from northern Maryland, and I am an undergrad studying Animal Health and Behavior. I have an Associate Degree in Graphic Design and I was working toward my Bachelors in the same field knowing that it was not what I wanted to do. After taking about a year off from school to work and figuring out which direction I wanted to go in, I finally feel as though I am on the right path. I still do enjoy making art and like to incorporate my love for animals into my work.
What I liked most about my Animal Training and Care class was the use of real-life examples to show the most effective methods for animal care. I like that the class often referred to the standards of the AZA and always provided creditable and quality sources for the material we were being taught. My professor was very responsive and ready to help with any questions I had and always provided wonderful feedback.
My career goals are to work in animal welfare and conservation. I want to educate the public on the importance of our world's ecosystems and what they can do to help. I am sure my time at Unity College will allow me to gain the skill necessary to thrive in this field. My favorite thing about my classes at Unity is how detailed each one is to a specific form of Animal Acience. I am excited to further my education in Animal Health and Behavior, it is what I am truly passionate about."
