Tracy Malden

I have been an ESE Paraprofessional here at Ocean Studies for 2 years. I am originally from North Carolina but have lived in Florida for 23 years. I moved to Florida to attend Santa Fe College and received a degree in Zoology. I worked at Busch Gardens Tampa for 15 years with a variety of amazing animals such as tigers, rhinos, and orangutans. When my daughter started attending Ocean Studies as a student, I changed my career path and took on a teaching opportunity. I found that the Ocean Studies vision really fell in line with my own values, and I wanted to be part of this amazing community. I love coming to school each day and leave exhausted but fulfilled!
