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.

Via my work as an executive assistant and HR at the Curaçao Sea Aquarium, I got involved with the CDTC and I just never left

In which way do you contribute in making the difference ?
We can only make a difference for our families together as a team; and as a team we go all the way to try to make everything possible for them. Thankful to work with such passionate and enthusiastic colleagues.

I feel completely at home on this beautiful island, it is an honor to work with these amazing animals every day and I think it is great to see what the dolphins can do for the participants who come here.”

Bonnie is the mother of Chabelita, Nubia and Samí. Her motherly skills fit our program very well. She is very kind and sweet for our patients. You can recognize Bonnie by her big round eyes and her belly full of grey spots.
