Amazing Arizonans: Wildlife World Zoo president turns love of animals into roaring success

I love success stories. I don’t think there is a better one than my guest on this edition of Amazing Arizonans.

Kristy Hayden is the president of the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium and Safari Park. She went to the zoo as a little girl, then volunteered there and eventually worked her way to be its president.

She is also one of the most respected people in conservation all over the world.

Her passion for what she does is obvious. Her story is captivating. She is truly what Amazing Arizonans is all about. I hope you enjoy hearing her story!
