Kelli Proehl is going from one position in Emporia city services to another.
Proehl had worked for years at the Emporia Public Library, including time as assistant director of children’s services, but the city announced she is the David Traylor Zoo’s new education coordinator as part of a news release Monday. Proehl’s time at the library gave her an opportunity to coordinate with zoo leadership for events like the Safari Edventure Days, and she sees a lot of opportunities for education events down the road.
Proehl will be responsible for organizing and presenting the zoo’s educational opportunities, including classroom visits and activities like Safari Edventure, Zoo Camp and Kidzoocation. She replaces Dehlia Sutton, who took a position at Simmons Pet Food last summer.
