I learned from every director I worked under. When there was a public relations director, I learned a lot. How to deal with the media, how to deal with the press, how to deal with the public. What you should talk about, what you shouldn’t talk about. Following him, we had a finance officer who was director of the zoo. I learned how to prepare budgets. I learned how to be responsible for money coming in and money going out. How to buy in the best way and how to report to the public and how to report to a commission. I learned that from a finance officer when he was director.
