I grew up on our family farm helping to take care of a wide variety of animals from our many barn cats to the cows, goats, sheep and more. After graduating high school I worked in law enforcement for six years before going back to school to earn my Bachelor’s in Wildlife Ecology and Management. I’m now a zookeeper at Zoo Atlanta and have worked with hundreds of wild animals along with my coworkers pets while they’re away on vacation. I have three cats of my own at home, my first being blind with one eye, my second deaf and going blind and my third perfectly normal, so I’m no stranger to administering medications or specialized care. I have a fully fenced in backyard with a mosquito netted patio for any fur friends that enjoy spending time outside like mine do, or we have plenty of toys and beds for spending time indoors. Our family dogs growing up were Border collies and Saint Bernards so there isn’t a dog too large or too energetic that I couldn’t handle!
