I am a former Zoo intern (The Minnesota Zoo), which expresses my deep love of animals. I grew up having equal responsiblility for taking care of my two dogs, so I'm experienced with training and caring for dogs (my dogs: Riley, a golden retriever, and Chirona, a black lab/Dalmatian mix). I also have experience taking care of small dogs. I have babysat my family and friends' pets for 5+ years. I love dogs and exercise! I am responsible and smart- I was a Dean's List student in college, academic scholarship winner, graduated in under 4 years with a major and a minor, moved abroad (Ireland) on my own, and am a member of the academic honor society Phi Beta Kappa. I have great letters of recommendation from previous employers noting my work ethic and responsible nature.
