Animals have been my passion since I was a small child! From owning and caring for dogs, cats, fish, and reptiles, I adore all species. Every animal has a unique personality- my favorite part about being around them is getting to know each individual. My majors at Iowa State University were in Animal Ecology and Environmental Science, so wildlife is truly my passion. Over the past few years, I have worked in several wildlife rehabilitation centers and been an active volunteer at my local humane society. Other experience includes working on several wildlife research projects with wolves and pheasants, so I have extensive knowledge about how to handle both domestic and wild animals! At home, I have a stocky French Bulldog named Bugsy that provides our family with so much joy and laughter. We also have two cats (originally strays) named Beans and Marbles, both of which supply us with lots of snuggles!
