GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) — The NEW Zoo & Adventure Park is welcoming their new director.
Carmen Murach attended college at UW-Madison and spent a decade working as a research scientist there, and also volunteered at the Henry Vilas Zoo.
“Once I had some zookeeper experience under my belt, I saved up some money and moved myself up here and showed up at the zoo.” said Murach.
Murach has been with the NEW Zoo for many years and was first hired for a full-time position in 1995 as their first full-time zookeeper. Before that, she worked in a part-time capacity in roles such as zookeeper and education coordinator. In 2006 she became the Curator of Animals, and maintained that position until becoming director.
Murach says she looks forward to working on conservation projects and helping move the zoo forward.
