My name is Alexandria and I am 21 years old. I have always been an animal person. At a very young age I was attacked by a dog and it never stopped my love for animals. Throughout high school I spent most of my time volunteering at local animal shelters and visiting dog shelters. I am currently working as a direct support professional taking care of mentally and physically disabled people. I love what I do but making a career out of working with animals has been a dream of mine. I am looking forward to going to school for animal behavior when I save up enough money. I have a dog of my own that I take great care of, I would love to take care of animals for a living.
