Hello! My name is Ashley, and I graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in Biology (Pre-Professional). I was previously planning on applying to Veterinary school. However, I am now a first year pharmacy student at CU. Caring for and helping animals is a passion of mine, and I think our four-legged furry friends deserve the very best! I have two 50lb. dogs and a 30lb. of my own, as well as a 7lb. cat. They are all spoiled with treats and love, but they're well trained and well behaved. I have interned at a rescue shelter, where I was in charge of animal well care. I administered vaccines, gave daily medications, and even syringe/bottle fed small animals (including an abandoned squirrel). I also volunteered at an animal hospital for 18 months and worked directly with the head veterinarian. I have traveled to volunteer at a spay and neuter clinic in a small, rural village in Guatemala, where some people traveled for days to get their beloved pets the care they needed. For 3 months I worked as a Veterinary technician at a large south Florida rescue and helped care for the 300+ dogs on site. Even though I no longer plan to pursue a career in veterinary medicine, I still love working with animals and would love to continue working with them.
