Persie's enthusiasm for animals knows no bound! From pangolins to, to beetles, to house cats she has endless curiosity and empathy.

Persie loves learning about protecting the environments and ecosystems that protect the animals that she loves. She also loves the way humans can positively impact the environment around them.
Persie loves felines. From tigers to house cats she has always loved cats. Growing up with a rescued cat and being allowed to accompany him to every vet appointment she learned about cat behaviors and that some domestic traits can be seen in the wild too!
Persie loves to visit local nature preserves and parks. She has recently taken up bird watching and continues to expand her interest in reptiles with trips to see alligators in their native habitat. She also enjoys wandering her backyard and observing bugs, especially grasshoppers!
