Tori grew up among the mountains and deserts of Utah. Through exploration in her youth, she gained a passion for the land and animals around her. She received her bachelor’s degree in Ecology and Organismal Biology from the University of Utah, which lead her to an internship surveying boreal toads with Utah’s Hogle Zoo. The internship led her to full-time employment at the zoo, which has allowed her to use her knowledge of the state and conservation to engage guests to take action and become champions for wildlife.
