Ashley recently conducted her first Educational Program at a local middle school, and has appeared on television, along with Mary Ann Tobin, Broadbent's founder, to raise awareness about what we do here at the Sanctuary. In Ashley's words: "Working at Broadbent has inspired me to become a Veterinarian. I hope to work with both domestic animals and wildlife. One day I would also like to study and work with sea animals and birds. My goal isn't only to care for animals, I also want to educate others on what we are doing to the environment, to the animals and to ourselves." |
