I have been an animal lover my entire life. My earliest childhood memory is trying to walk my stuffed animals on a leash in my back yard. Growing up I was not able to have a family pet, but always wanting for one. The highlight of my day was being able to play with any animal that crossed my path. In college I chose to pursue a path in Veterinary Medicine while working as a Veterinary Technician. During a routine vaccine visit I was bit on my face by an Akita. Although this incident changed the trajectory of my path, I have never lost my passion and adoration for animals. Being able to care for pets in a homely setting allows me to carry out my passion and fulfill my lifelong dream of having furry friends around me at all times!
