My family has always had multiple dogs in our home and some of my fondest memories are centered around those our family dogs; from bringing our first puppy home to long family walks. I was raised in a home that valued the importance of having pets and the responsibility of taking care of a dog can teach a child. I have owned dogs of both size extremes (Chihuahua to Chocolate Lab). I competed in collegiate cross country and track and field at Shawnee State University and still love to be active by walking and running with my dog. I am currently attending graduate school at The Ohio State University for Physical Therapy and have high availability in the afternoons after my classes and on the weekends.
