I've always had animals around me and have great appreciation for furry little (and big) creatures. I used to dog and cat-sit my neighbors dogs when they were gone on business or vacation. I grew up an only child and my best friend was always my cat, Pebbles (so special, he's tattooed on me!). I'm an avid walker and am lucky enough to live by Lake Washington Blvd and Seward Park which is a beautiful walk, especially in the summertime. I often go on nature walks and hikes to cope with my depression and animals are great therapy. I am active, patient, friendly, and aware of my surroundings and others. I take pride in my compassion, I'm a natural mama-bear to my friends and family and the animals I am surrounded by. I try to keep a positive outlook on life and show appreciation for the beautiful things life has to offer. Currently, I work two days a week assistant teaching in the art department at Green River College and am free most days/evenings. I am also a professional photographer who is often home editing so I can take on last-minute walks and I also do pet photography!
