By way of introduction, my name is Mateo Armijo. First I would like to talk about my interests that aren’t related to biological studies, but that define me as an individual. I am avid graphic designer with an extensive background in photo manipulation and the creation of original designs. I have recently picked up the art of screen printing. It allows me to express myself through a different media. I have designed many logos for myself and for up and coming companies.

I play varsity lacrosse which I enjoy because of the fast paced nature of the game and the team effort needed to excel. I find the sciences that back many of the careers found at the San Diego Zoo extremely interesting. Personally, I enjoy the study of falconry and other behavioral aspects of animal life that help us learn more about them. I realize that the San Diego Zoo InternQuest will expose me to a variety of career choices. I am definitely looking forward to seeing the behind the scenes of different exhibits at the Zoo to see how it operates. I’m also interested in all of the careers that collaborate to make the Zoo run as smoothly as possible, as a source of education and as a center of animal study.

I have been placed in the Photography Team in the Zoo InternQuest. Having an artistic background, I feel that it is a suitable position for me. I’ll also have a lot of fun getting close and personal with the animals.
