I was pretty much around animals for the majority of my life since I was very young. My family had two dogs, Jjun and Haneul while I was growing up, in which my brother and I were primarily responsible for going on walks and caring for them. Although both Jjun and Haneul have since passed away, I carry a strong appreciation for their love and carry through the memories. While I am not currently in a position to adopt a dog, I hope to do so in the future and value opportunities to remain connected with dogs in the meantime. I relocated to Durham about four months ago from Boston, accompanied by my 5 years old cat, Rose. Prior to moving to Durham, I lived in Boston for six years while completing both my undergraduate and master’s degrees. During that time, I gained consistent experience caring for pets by regularly walking dogs every week for approximately four and a half years.
