User:EmSmith

I'm a relative newbie as far as the wonderful world of Wiki is concerned so please be gentle with me. For anyone who cares (and I really wouldn't blame you if you didn't), here is a little about me:


 * Name: Emma Charlotte Smith (hence the truly imaginative username)
 * Date of Birth: 28th June 1978
 * Location: Plymouth, Devon, UK
 * Occupation: Wife/mother/dogsbody
 * Education: I'm training towards becoming a psychotherapist. I also have a foundation degree in Animal Science and am part-way towards a Diploma in Advanced Animal Behaviour.

Interests

 * The Grey Wolf - I was a practicum at Wolf Park, Indiana, during the summer of 2001. Terrific place!


 * Animal behaviour and welfare as well as natural history and the natural world in general.


 * American literature - John Steinbeck and Ernest Hemingway in particular.


 * Italy - My two older sisters have emigrated to Italy, one to Tuscany and one to Umbria and I've visited the country countless times since around 1985.
