Background

About Jenna Francis

I am a Biology Science graduate from the University of Prince Edward Island. I extended my career as a biology student passed the recommended four years to ensure that I got the most out of the school's education. I now have 22 courses in the biology field instead of the average 14. I was eager to start a new career applying my education but it was slim pickings on PEI. So in June, 2013, my boyfriend and I moved to Cambridge, Ontario to start a new life. Less than a year later (April, 2014), I landed my dream job and started work in the Parks department of the African Lion Safari. It has been an amazing experience and I can't wait to go to work everyday. I am learning so much and I appreciate all that everyone there does for me. I still run my own photography business, Naturally Photography, that was going quite well in PEI, but is now on the side while I am at the Safari. I have a great love for animals and always looking to expand my opportunities. I am a hardworker and always looking to learn new things, gain new experiences. I am patient and determined, polite and friendly.
