Hi! I’m a Biology student at Davidson College focused on pursuing a PhD in Wildlife Biology and Conservation post-grad. I’m originally from Richmond, VA, but will be in Davidson this summer continuing my research on quantifying parental care behaviors in songbirds. My journey began with a desire to become a veterinarian, leading me to volunteer extensively at my local animal shelter during high school. With over 300 hours of hands-on experience in pet welfare, training, and care, I'm dedicated to ensuring your pets' happiness. Additionally, I've shadowed at two veterinarian hospitals, further enhancing my expertise. The past two summers, I nannied a 10 year old boy and spent countless hours each day feeding, walking, and playing with his 3 year old Cavapoo. I also have cat and dog sat for multiple families throughout high school and college. Back home, I share my life with Brady, a cherished 12-year-old Aussiedoodle. Animals hold a special place in my heart, and providing them with compassionate care is my lifelong passion.
