About
I love working with animals. I've been raised around various pets including but not limited to dogs, cats, rabbits, parrots, chinchillas, ferrets, other small mammals, etc. I spent most of my early career working with children where I learned how to think outside of the box, to be patient and understanding.
Although I enjoyed being able to make a difference in children's lives and those of their families I am now looking to foster my other passion which is animal care, specifically the care of dogs.
I have two of my own medium sized dogs that I am responsible for, including their training and care.
