I am currently earning my master’s in Veterinary Sciences before I start vet school in August. Previously I worked providing animal care to A&M’s research and teaching animals for 3 years while in undergrad. Here I improved my skills at providing specialized care, following specific directions, and assisted vet staff with treatments and medication. I served as President for the A&M Animal Welfare & Behavior club where I improved my knowledge to care for animals of all behaviors. Whether scared, aggressive, high-energy or somewhere in between I look forward to meeting all personalities and helping them be fear-free and comfortable. I have experience with a wide variety of species, highlighted below: Exotics- I help a leadership role in A&M’s Zoological Society where I gained hands-on experiences Reptiles and amphibians- I volunteered with a reptile rescue group cleaning enclosures and feeding 4-H & FFA projects– I showed livestock for many years and have experience with goats, hogs, rabbits, steers and poultry Fish- I worked at a TPWD fish hatchery and have had personal freshwater aquariums. I am comfortable with daily maintenance and care, water changes, and emergency treatments. Equine- I provided daily care and treatment for the horses at A&M’s veterinary medical park. I assisted with a mare-foal research project as well. Livestock – I earned my bachelor's in animal science from Texas A&M with a minor in poultry science. Welfare - While away from your pet, I have plenty of enrichment toys to keep them entertained & active Plants & Gardens – No need to worry about your horticulture while away from home, I have previous experience with house plants and gardens. Previous work experience at an arboretum Photography- I participated in photography projects through 4-H so I will do my best to send you pictures of your pet having fun while you’re away!
