I am passionate about animals, wild and domestic alike. I have always had a special connection with animals and grew up having dogs, birds, and fish as pets. Now I study wildlife biology and enjoy caring for animals in my free time. I have two dogs, a darling papillon/shih-tzu, and a peppy boxer. I keep some reptiles and invertebrates, as well. I also volunteer for HawkWatch International taking care of the rescued hawks, falcons, and owls that they house. I just graduated from the University of Utah, and am looking for some flexible work where I can work with animals but have the option to travel and camping when I'd like to. I love dogs of all shapes and sizes. I love hiking, walking, running, and playing with dogs because it keeps me fit as well! I also love cats, but I am allergic, so can only provide minimum care for these majestic creatures.
