In January Clay left for Orlando to begin his professional internship with The Disney Company, working at Animal Kingdom as a “conservation education presenter,” or as they’re more commonly known, a Wilderness Explorer!

First he had to undergo a couple of weeks of training, learning everything from Disney’s policies and procedures to minutiae about the park and the animals. He’s made a lot of friends, loves his job, and really enjoys interacting with the guests and trying to make a difference in their day and, hopefully, educate them at the same time.
