Why have you choose to work at CDTC?
I started as an intern in 2009/2010 in the dolphin trainer department. After a wonderful time it was time to go home again. I couldn’t get CDTC out of my head and after about a year I got the opportunity to come back and work as a dolphin trainer.
In which way do you contribute in making the difference?
I am a dedicated employee/person who is giving a 100% for the dolphins in our care.

Chabelita
Chabelita is a young female dolphin who is very energetic. She is always eager to learn new stuff and is very cuddly. Chabelita is curious and loves to chase fish and crabs. She is the daughter of Bonnie and the big sister of Nubia and Samí.

It is a great honor to be able to manage a special organization such as CDTC.
An organization with highly skilled professionals, each in their field, together providing a very special and effective program that support each participant and his/her family to grow towards a next step in their development. Being a witness and able to contribute to this is a very valuable asset to me.
It inspires me to support and coaching others, providing the best possible organization, to create the foundation for our highly qualified team to be able to perform at their best, in order to deliver the best results in therapy. With the goal to make a difference in the lives of our participants.

I chose to work here at the CDTC because I have seen the influence that this therapy has had on the patients who come here and undergo this process with us. Also, how much care and attention go into the dolphins [which for me is also super important] was a big factor in my decision to work here. Thus, to see with how much enthusiasm and love the dolphin trainers attend to the dolphins it was a no-brainer. I have always loved animals so the opportunity to work with these beautiful animals every day and to learn so much about and from them is truly a dream. The therapy style here is so different than what you are using in conventional therapy. The time invested in each patient and the work I see each therapist doing for every single patient is quite remarkable. It is this love and dedication to every individual that really makes a difference here at the CDTC. Being able to document this experience as a part of the Photo & Video department is one way, I contribute to making each experience here unique.
