Episode Synopsis "Women Mind the Water Artivist Series Sophie Guarasci"
Sophie Guarasci is the latest guest on the Wo(men) Mind the Water Artivist Series podcast. Sophie worked in the world of fashion and finance before becoming a licensed veterinary tech. She works at the Marine Mammal Center, the nation’s foremost marine mammal hospital located just north of San Francisco. Sophie oversees the clinical and surgical treatment and husbandry of seals, sea lions, and sea otters. It’s her dream job, even though there are times she has to make difficult decisions about the treatment of severely ill animals. Every time the Center saves an animal and is able to release it back to the ocean, Sophie feels hope that they are making a difference. In this episode Sophie discusses her work with stray dogs in La Paz, Mexico before she moved to San Francisco with four of the dogs she and her husband rescued. She moved to California particularly as she knew of the opportunity to work with marine mammals. It was volunteer work at the marine mammal hospital that convinced her to become a vet tech. Working with the patients at the marine mammal hospital is always full of surprises and inspiration. She talks about working with Northern fur seals, the less well known Guadalupe fur seal, California sea lions, and disentangling whales, the latter work is done while on the water. Sophie believes that people wherever they live should care about these animals as they tell us much about what is going on out there in their home the ocean, which is tied to human health.
