1. Create a new spreadsheet for the keepers to record data.
2. Create something to inform the public about the work that the keepers do with the elephants. (brochure, article, etc.)
3. A research project on some aspect of the elephants that isn't being done already
Questions:
What skills would you like to develop at your site?
I would like to develop pretty much any skills that I can while I'm here, such as my communication and observation skills.
What interests do you have regarding the work done at your site?
There are a lot of interesting things that I could focus on while I'm working here because there's such a large variety of things that need to be done in order to manage an animal exhibit, especially one as large as the elephant exhibit. However, being able to get close to the animals and observe how they're trained by the keepers is probably most interesting to me.
What needs can you address (needs your mentor has, your company has, etc.) based on your skills and interests?
The most helpful thing that I could probably do for the keepers would be to help create/fix their new data spreadsheet. Also, a lot of money is needed to take care of these animals, so maybe I could try to do a fundraiser of some sort. I'm sure any amount that I can raise, no matter how small, would help.
