Karla Majewski A native San Diegan, Karla grew up! within shouting distance of the world famous San Diego and San Diego Wild Animal Park. Both animal conservation organizations influenced Karla‚s dreams of working with animals. Karla had horses as a child and was lucky enough to have some of the greatest inspiring mentors, Bud Brennick and Dr. David Zanders DVM, who encouraged her to dream big. Dr. Zanders hired Karla to work at his veterinary hospital in high school. Then Karla pursued her passion for animals at Los Angeles‚ famous Moorpark College, where she was graduated with a degree in Exotic Animal Training and Wildlife Management. Eager to get started, she moved to Oregon and worked for Wildlife Safari. Karla's experience was broad: everything from caretaking for lions and elephants to state-wide traveling with a cheetah conducting preservation outreach programs. During these travels Karla discovered her true calling: public speaking. Bu! t the Southern California, her family and the warm weather called Karla home. She was fortunate to join the animal training staff at the San Diego Wild Animal Park, which led to show hosting duties with the elephant, bird and North American animal shows. But Karla is an entrepreneur at heart and in 1987 Pacific Animal Productions was born. Now her own zoological collection travels throughout the western states for school shows, grand events, fairs, movies and festivals with the goal of bringing animals and people closer together. We hope you cross paths with Karla's wonderful menagerie sometime soon. Or, maybe you already have? Karla or her sons have appeared with the gang on "Wild Science", "Wild World Tour", "Shark Discovery", "The Rainforest Experience", "Safari Adventure Live", or "A Bug'zz Life".

Cindi Cavallini Cindi’s first memory is riding on the back of her sister’s horse when she was three years old. She knew from that moment on that she wanted to spend her life close to animals. Growing up, Cindi became the resident foster mom to every stray animal that crossed her path. By luck, her college adviser knew about Los Angeles‚ world-renowned Moorpark College and he steered me in the right direction. Cindi met Karla at Moorpark, and they quickly became roommates and friends. Upon graduating with a degree in Exotic Animal Training and Wildlife Management in 1985, Cindi’s career took a different path: she joined the circus! As her attachments to the animals grew she realized that her circus career was going to last longer than the summer she had originally planned. Cindi held a variety of jobs, including responsibility for care and training of 20 horses and ponies, show performances with elephants and horses, and later an aerialist. Cindi married another performer in 1992 and they had a son in 1993. When it was time for Cindi’s beloved six Friesian horses to retire Cindi decided that it was time for her to do the same. She contacted Karla, who said “look no further.” Cindi is thrilled to be a part of Pacific Animal Productions, where she is able to combine the two things she enjoys most: working with children and working with animals.
