Michele started her career in animal care at the age of 10 working on a horse farm and continued to work with horses all the way through college. Volunteering at the Indianapolis Zoo for four years with elephants and as a diver inspired her to enter the conservation field and return to school for her Master's in Biology.

We are tremendously thankful that Mote Aquarium will be able to reopen to the public on Saturday, October 1, during normal operating hours (9:30 AM - 5:00 PM), following our closure for preparation and response to Hurricane Ian. Unfortunately, our Sharktoberfest event, which was scheduled for October 1, will be postponed. If you have purchased a ticket, please check your email for more information. Our thoughts and best wishes are with our friends, family, partners and all of those who are continuing to manage recovery efforts. Any additional updates about reopening will be provided via social media: @MoteMarineLab on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter.
