"Hi, my name is Rebecca Perruci and I am so excited to become
a part of the New Jersey Audubon community this year! I have always been
fascinated with the animal kingdom and enjoy being out in nature. I pursued
these interests with a degree in Zoo and Wildlife Biology from Malone
University in Canton, Ohio. Being surrounded by wonderful teachers, mentors,
and friends, I couldn’t help but be encouraged in my love for birds and birding.
After graduating in 2016, I decided to channel my desire to help birds into the
field of zoo-keeping. I have been working as a bird keeper at the Gulf Breeze
Zoo in Gulf Breeze, Florida, for almost two years. My time at the zoo has helped
me discover that what I love most of all, though, is teaching people about
animals and the natural world around them. It is my goal to share my love of
birds through public education, so as to inspire the next generation of
biologists and conservationists. When I’m not out birding—which, admittedly, is
most of the time—I can be found trail running, painting and drawing, and
spending time with my Yellow-naped Amazon Parrot."
