Growing up working at a non-profit animal shelter in New Jersey helped foster my love of not just dogs, but all animals. My growth at the shelter was organic, from kennel attendant to veterinary technician to adoption "counselor" I have worked with pets and their owners in all capacities. In addition, I expanded my love of domestic animals to include those of the exotic variety during my employment at Disney's Animal Kingdom where I was a seasonal cast member at Kilimanjaro Safaris for 3 years. After having pets throughout my childhood, I was able to rescue my guy Angus (my French Bulldog) 4 years ago, and he is my world. I am looking forward to providing the care I would want in a pet professional!
