Judy Archer began working at the Zoo in 1994, where she developed the unique, week-long Chevron Zoo School experience, working closely with teachers to integrate the Zoo and environmental education into the curriculum. Judy lived in Ecuador for two years where she worked as a hostess and environmental education specialist for a jungle lodge.

Judy has extensive experience in environmental education as a teacher, a naturalist, a Zoo educator, and a university instructor. She is currently leading Community Education programs in the Zoo's Education Department. Judy has hosted numerous Zoofaris to Peru, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Kenya and Tanzania. She is enthusiastic about both natural history and culture and is looking forward to hosting more Zoofaris, sharing her passion with adventurous travellers on upcoming trips!
