Carolyn Wertz
Carolyn has been working at the Center for seven years. Her favorite part about this job is seeing the students' faces when they first step into the mud, as they experience a wet land for the first time!
Monica Tichonoff
For Monica, working at the Center is a dream come true. It is very gratifying to work in a place that promotes and provides a hands on approach to teaching students about Florida's amazing habitats and animals.
