I have had a fantastic week at Ohio Wildlife Center. I am overwhelmed with happiness and gratitude for the people I work with. This week feels like the episode of The Office where Jim has an awful day, but then Pam falls asleep on his shoulder and it turns the whole thing around.

This week I was bit by a woodchuck which meant a tetanus shot, went on a baby turkey vulture rescue mission, got caught in the rain multiple times, missed the fellowship learning session (sorry guys) and felt like the week would never end.

But throughout it all, I had my coworkers Lindsey and Logan there to laugh and have fun with. There was a fundraiser for Ohio Wildlife Center at the Candle Lab in the Short North Thursday evening and spending time with coworkers and friends outside of work was so much fun and very refreshing. They also had cards and gifts set up on my desk for my birthday when I came into the office today. I feel so lucky to be part of a team where I feel loved and valued. Building relationships with those you work with outside of work is so important to culture, productivity and workplace flow. 

This summer has been flying by, I can’t believe the fellowship is over half way complete! I have been learning so much and enjoying myself as well. I’m learning a lot about how nonprofits function, marketing for fundraising and animal welfare. All of the things I am interested in and hope to make a career of!

Enjoy some super cute pictures I’ve been able to capture 🙂
