Charea Magday: Former Animal Care Specialist
Hi! My name is Charea, and I worked on the Critter Care team caring for our terrestrial animals from August 2022 until I graduated college in December 2023! I really love animals, so working with the critters was an amazing experience. Aside from feeding and cleaning their enclosures, I mostly spent time cuddling the animals and learning about their personalities. This position helped me learn about caring for many different species besides your typical dogs and cats. It also allowed me to learn how to work independently, since I typically came in after museum hours. I think the best part is that I got so many pictures and videos of these amazing critters. I am planning on going into wildlife rehabilitation after this, so my time at EUREKA! will definitely help me out in the future. Thank you to the EUREKA! staff and the animals for helping me learn and grow. I hope that my time spent on the team helped many people learn about all the wonderful things these animals have to offer and I'll truly miss every one of them (even the scorpions).
