Courtney Janney
I’ve been in the zoological field for 20 years. I knew I always wanted to work with animals, but went from thinking I’d be a veterinarian to realizing I loved working closely with animals and building a relationship with them. After finishing my four year degree I completed an internship in Texas at a zoo called Fossil Rim. After that I worked at Walt Disney World and Smithsonian’s National Zoo over the next 10 years before coming to Memphis. I have been here since 2014 – I live in Collierville with my husband, two daughters and three dogs.
