Dolphin World Blog

Hi All,

I just received this email about a career with dolphins.

My name is Maria Olah, I am a medical doctor from Hungary.  I am writing to you because I am interested in a career working with dolphins. Ever since childhood I have been fascinated with dolphins.  And, not along in Malta, I had the opportunity to swim with dolphins for the first time. The experience was magical and instantly I realized this is something I would love to do to all the time.  Then, upon my return to Hungary, I came across the story about a Hungarian family who took their mentally retarded son to Florida so he could swim with the dolphins there as a therapeutic attempt. The results were significant, his coordination and movements improved, as did his communication abilities. 

The confluence of these events has roused me to seek out a future career in which I could work in a similar environment. Although I have read a great deal about dolphins, I would like to work with them and study them up close, and see how they interact with people with various ailments. I believe my medical and scientific background is a good foundation for such work. Moreover, I really enjoy helping people of need and, as I said, I am crazy about dolphins, as well as I am an adept swimmer, certified diver and love the water. 

Therefore, I feel I am superbly suited for a job of this nature. If you have anything available along these lines or would like to begin, please consider me.

I enclosed my resume with the hope that you will contact me, as I am very excited about discussing any possibilities of being part of this type of program.

Sincerely,
