Jodi has one of the coolest jobs out there! She works with Gorillas! Well, not just gorillas but all things primate at the Zoo Atlanta!
"Jodi has been working with primates for over 19 years, most of them at Zoo Atlanta, with a keen interest in western lowland gorillas. Before joining Zoo Atlanta, she worked with primates at Zoo Miami and the Pittsburgh Zoo. Jodi is a member of the Gorilla Species Survival Plan (SSP) Management Group and the Gorilla Behavior Advisory Group. She has also worked to raise support for Zoo Atlanta’s longtime partner in gorilla conservation, The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International, and has led trips to Africa to observe mountain gorillas."

As the Curator of Primates, her job entails working with a team of folks every day to provide care for all of the primates in the Zoo! What's unique about Jodi is her passion for this career began when she was in 7th grade, and that was probably about the time I started hearing about it as well!
Listen in as we talk about:
- all things primate including working with "The one and only Ivan"
- The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International
- A Brown Jetta & Dave Matthews concerts
Jodi, you were, and always will be one of the best! Thanks for spending some time with me to catch up and learn more about what you have been up to for roughly two decades!
