Our Team
Siena
Founder of Safari Station, Educator
With a lifelong passion and background working with children and animals, Siena founded Schoolhouse Reptiles in 2017 with the dream to spread awareness of the amazing animals we share our beautiful Earth with. Schoolhouse Reptiles evolved into Schoolhouse Safari and eventually Safari Station. When she's not hosting Animal Encounters, Siena can be found with her family traveling and looking for adventures!
Steven
Founder of Safari Station & The Scarab Lab
Steven has been fascinated by the world of insects his whole life! Although you'll often find him providing insect encounters in South Louisiana, he also is the main supplier of Beetle Jelly and Beetle Larva in the US, and works on films and tv shows across the country with his insects and other small animals. When he's not working, you'll find Steven road-tripping around the States searching for bugs, museum and nature hikes with his wife and son.
Heather
Handler; Educator
With her caring and patient personality, Heather makes an incredible addition to the team at Schoolhouse Safari! With perseverance, she worked her way through college and graduated all while raising her creative, bright and kind child on her own. Heather has been with Safari Station since 2018 and has been a huge part of creating what it is today. While teaching children about the animals, she keeps them captivated and laughing while learning all about our friendly ambassadors.
