Manager – Environmental at SeaWorld San Antonio
Conservation has to be in the minds of management and must have the buy-in of team members
Employee education is hugely important and arms our team with the ability to find conservation ideas in their areas because of the way they do things.
Employee outreach and participation is very rewarding; team can see how they can help our environment on big levels or on small levels daily
