Bridging the Gap

I've been a Bridging the Gap intern for a year now.  I've been having a blast, I learned so much about what working in a zoo is like.  For me being a Bridging the Gap intern is a special opportunity because we learn all the positions in the zoo.  From the zoo keeper to the social media team it takes a lot of work.  It has helped me figure out what my interests are by knowing what a zoo keeper does.  The keeper works one on one with their animal, being there for the animal 24 hours everyday of the week its a lot of responsibility.  I also found out how I like social media for the zoo. I got interested in social media because it is ever so growing.  Currently I contributed to the Bridging the Gap instagram, taking pictures and posting them for an audience all over the world to see.  That's why social media was interesting to me.
