Katherine Vega

Katherine’s “pup”, Odion, is a rescued, mix-breed from Puerto Rico who is bilingual.

Katherine is a student at the College of Central Florida. She was raised in New York and has over 10 years of wildlife and conservation experience. In addition to pursuing her degree in Environmental Management for Agriculture, Katherine also works part-time as a bear and primate keeper at Silver Springs Nature Park. This “ever-on-the-go” girl has a passion for sustainability and enjoys her rare moments of free time by reading and taking her pup to the dog park.
