  • Description

    My name is Dayna, I have been a zoo keeper for five years here in New Zealand and now I'm ready for my next adventure! I have a Bachelor's in animal management and welfare so I am looking to explore the wildlife, wilderness, and culture of countries around the world to build upon my experience and knowledge. I am passionate about the conservation and restoration of wildlife and wild places, and meeting people who share the same passion. I am a hard-worker who enjoys getting stuck into work, and having a laugh/chat with friendly people.

  • More details about your skills

    I enjoy to cook and bake, and I am happy to get my hands dirty cleaning or gardening. I have worked around a large variety of animals including domestics (horses, sheep, etc) and exotics (big cats, reptiles, birds), therefore, I am comfortable to care and work around pets, rescued and wild animals. My experience as a zookeeper has taught me to have great attention to detail, flexibility, and time management. Similarly, I am comfortable with public speaking and interacting with the public. I have experience with driving manual vehicles, horse floats and trailers, and quad bikes, and using gardening equipment like weed eaters.
