Kristen Cari

Kristen Cari is a mom, photographer, former zookeeper, and author (by no means a complete list--hah!)

Her interests include: Anything involving animals and nature. Creative endeavors. Eating delicious food (usually made by her husband). Hyper-fixating on her current obsession (currently rearing monarch caterpillars and releasing butterflies.) Traveling to Europe & daydreaming about moving to Europe. Daydreaming in general. Taylor Swift.

She dislikes: Most large social gatherings (she's TIRED and still recovering from her people pleasing 20s.) Most billionaires and politicians (Taylor, Beyonce, AOC, and Bernie are some notable exceptions). Inequality. Being in a rush. Bell peppers. Group projects/chats. Public speaking.

Fun fact:

She has worked with dozens of primate species including all of the great apes except for chimps. Gorillas are comically serious and are incredible to work with, Orangutans are comically conniving and can take years to win over, Bonobos are party people and are such LOUD woo girls, keepers have to wear ear protection around them.
