Fred & I
Hello! My name is Zak Beltz. I am extremely excited and fortunate to be a part of the Biology and Environmental Science Department at HTHCV. I come from a background in lab science, animal husbandry and outdoor leadership. I also have a background in research and field work, which I am excited to share with my future students! I have spent extensive time living and working in various parts of Central America, where I learned the importance of an interdisciplinary approach to solving conservation issues, and enough Spanish to make some lifelong friends and colleagues.
Outside of work and school, I freedive, practice yoga and volleyball, coach at SDSU, hike, and enjoy time with my family. I am an avid backpacker, and I look forward to exploring more of the world with each new year.
A glimpse into my past- I have been educating folks about wildlife for most of my career. I have been lucky to work with some amazing animals and teach awesome students and guests from around the world. I have a passion for making science fun!
