Hello, my name is Alexis, and I am 20 years old. I am currently in school pursuing my dream carrer as a wildlife/exotic veterinarian with an emphasis in large cats. My favorite animal is the tiger, and I hope that one day I can venture out to Africa for months at a time, getting paid to do what I love: work on large cats! As i'm going through school, I want to give back by volunteering at any type of sanctuary, zoo, or veterinarian clinics. It would be such an amzaing experience to be able to go to Africa and volunteer at the sanctuary at such a young age! It would really be a dream come true for me, I would have so much fun! My goal from this trip is to meet the animals, learn their personalities, bond with them, and learn more head on about these creatures! I have done much research in my life about large cats, so I know quite a lot about them, but meeting them face to face will allow me to experience so much more than reading ever will. Any type of assistance will help. Please help me make my dream, become a dream come true.
