I've had five dogs of my own: a German Shepard, a Black Collie/German Shepherd Mix, 2 Dalmatians, and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. My grandpa also had a German Shepherd/Doberman mix that I grew up with, in addition to my aunt's bunny rabbit, his best buddy! My dad leased 5 horses for my enjoyment, from ages 3-10. I had several fish and hermit crabs growing up too. I occasionally volunteer at an animal shelter, socializing and exercising cats and dogs, including dog walks. I also help asses some of these canines and felines, at the most basic level. As for my personal pets, I help feed, bathe, hydrate, and nurse them, aside from playing with and loving them constantly. My grandpa and nanny had birds that I helped care for, but it's been a while since I directly interacted with any. I love most animals and children, but I do hate mice and rats. I'm a college student and an aspiring pediatric physical therapist. Nevertheless, I'm also interested in animal training, athletic training, chiropractic care, education, occupational therapy, respiratory therapy, and zoology/Marine Biology. I'm an avid dancer, equestrian, and figure skater. Growing up I also played organized soccer, tennis, and volleyball, in addition to dabbling in cheering and gymnastics. When I'm not up and about I enjoy reading, writing chilling with my dog, and\or spending time with family and friends.
