Nancy Schlegel, UA Class of '85 and President of the Reid Park Zoological Society, guides the Society in their mission to support, advocate for and enhance the value of the City-owned Reid Park Zoo for the community.  Her background as a CPA and CFO has helped build a strong financial base, doubling membership revenue in the past five years.

Jennifer Parker, UA Class of '95 (special education and rehabilitation) is a competitive, award-winning horseback rider specializing in dressage.  She owns and operates Agape Dressage, which offers equestrian training programs tailored to the needs and goals of each horse and rider.

She has been involved with equine assisted activities/therapies since 1986.
Jan Hutchinson, UA Classes of '77 (special education), '83 (MEd student personnel services), '87 (MA journalism) is the former program director for Gabriel's Angel's Southern Arizona program, a non-profit organization that delivers pet therapy to at-risk youth.

Dr. Michele Estheimer, UA Class of '05 (veterinary science), is a Veterinarian at Ventana Animal Hospital. She attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison for her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree, and returned to Tucson to complete advanced training in a small animal surgical and medical internship program at one of Tucson's specialty and emergency centers. Dr. Estheimer has been in general practice in Tucson for the past several years.
Alicia Hamilton is a keeper at The Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, one of three keepers responsible for the care of 65 individuals covering 22 different species.  She began her zoo career when she was 16 at the Los Angeles Zoo.  She has since completed 3 internships at aquariums on both the east and west coast.  She earned her degree in Recreation Management and Wildlife Biology, focusing on natural resource conservation, and has worked with the U.S.  Forest Service and Parks and Recreation.
