We recently welcomed Lindsay Jaquier to the college as Travel/Office Associate. Here’s more about Lindsay in her own words:
I always tell people my last name is pronounced Jake-Wer(e). Like bad English…”Jake were going to the mall.”
I’m from right here in Omaha, Neb., and received my BS in Fisheries and Wildlife Science at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln. After I graduated, I spent nearly seven years at the Kansas City Zoo before I moved back home and have spent the last 11 years working at the Omaha’s Henry Doorly Zoo. I have worked with a wide variety of animals, primarily gorillas, supporting the mission to inspire, educate and engage people to serve as lifelong stewards for the conservation of animals and their habitats.
Outside of work I enjoy watching my son race in BMX, mountain biking, kayaking, going hiking with my two very active rescue dogs, reading, watching NFL football, gardening and trying new local coffee shops.
I am excited to take on a new role as the Travel/Office Associate with the College of Allied Health Professions. I look forward to learning and growing with the team!
