Amber Reger
Amber Reger is our Education Specialist with years of experience working in education in both formal and informal settings. A proud graduate of MSU-Billings with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. Amber is excited to work at ZooMontana because she can blend two of her favorite passions, education and animals. As an educator, some of her proudest moments are when students/campers make great connections with nature, especially with the animals that are traditionally seen as "creepy-crawly." Born in Billings, MT, her adventures have led her to live in California, Washington, Alaska, and Scotland but something always brings her home. In her free time, she likes to read, hang out with family and friends, and care for her three dogs, five guinea pigs, and two frogs!

Camouflage, mimicry, venom, and more! Discover the ways in which animals survive in their natural environments.
