@harleegriffin
Animal care and guest-service professional skilled in training, safety, and data-driven program work.
What I'm looking for
I provide exceptional care to over 100 horses and ponies daily up to AZA standards, supporting daily animal care operations and trail ride operations. I administer daily feed and medications according to personalized feeding plans while keeping health and welfare feedback and concerns communicated to the team.
I train new cast members and help ensure guest interactions follow Walt Disney Company “Five Keys” and guest service principles. I also deliver safety and instructional spiels to large groups, make sure safety equipment is on and used properly, and use strong customer service skills during live operations.
I’ve built and led program work as a Monarch Surveyor, establishing a monarch surveying site and program and successfully catching, tagging, and recording adult give campers a safe hands on experience with the Monarchs to be tracked horses and ponies. I handle monthly monarch surveying and enter data in the form provided, pairing hands-on field work with careful recordkeeping.
Outside animal operations, I bring management and operational experience from retail leadership roles, including hiring, training, coaching, inventory systems, and POS workflows. I’ve worked with Shopify, Heartland POS, spreadsheets, and reporting, and I support growth through customer engagement and email capture at checkout.
