Allison Burr
Animal Caregiver - Barn Lead
I started working at ZooMontana in the Spring of 2024 as the Barn Keeper, but I was actually a volunteer here first! I knew I wanted to work at ZooMontana the moment I moved here in 2023, fresh out of my BS in Animal Science and Organismal Biology from MSU in Bozeman. In the meantime, I worked as a Veterinary Assistant at a vet clinic which sparked a curiosity for Veterinary Medicine. I started a Veterinary Nursing degree through Purdue's online program and am currently working on becoming a Licensed Veterinary Technician. Before working at ZooMontana my experience with animals mostly involved working with horses, small animal veterinary medicine, and wildlife rehabilitation and release. This is my first job in a zoo setting and I am loving every minute of it!
