Marlena recently took the Transdisciplinary Capstone course at Unity College with Professor Richard Hudnett.
"I am joining Unity College from North Carolina. Before enrolling at Unity College, I was in the United States Marine Corps and taking college courses while working towards my Bachelor of Science in Nursing. During nursing school, I realized that I didn’t love what I was getting into therefor, I switched career paths which brought me to Unity College. I always had a passion for animals and the environment, but I was deterred from that career path because of the challenges I would have to overcome and the competitiveness of finding a job. However, I didn’t care at the end of the day because I wanted to do what I loved and go to work enjoying what I do.
I chose Unity because it has a curriculum geared toward exotic animal care and the environment. I am earning my Bachelor's degree in Captive Wildlife Care. I'm hoping that the education at Unity will give me the knowledge and experience needed to get a job working with exotic animals.
In the Transdisciplinary Capstone course, I most enjoyed that the class was projected-based and geared toward my career path. I felt like every class had substantial meaning unlike my experience taking classes at other colleges. At other institutions, I felt like I was wasting my time and money.
My future career goals are to become a Zookeeper, eventually working my way up to Curator. I also strive to educate the public by spreading knowledge to help give wildlife and our environment a voice."
