About Tammy Joho
I am one of the Education Programs Specialists here at the zoo (say that title three times fast!). This means that I am paid to teach people about animals! I tell my friends and family that I am a ‘people keeper’ at the zoo, since I spend the majority of my days teaching classes, talking to guests, driving the Zoomobile, showing program animals, and herding children during summer camp. Working at the zoo seemed like a natural choice for me, since where else can you tell people that you’ve been bitten by an opossum, licked by a giraffe, or chased by a chicken? I have been at the Houston Zoo over a year and a half and I would have to say that of all the animals here, my favorite is hands down Hansel the fossa. Or Handsome as I call him. :)
