Hi there! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I’ve watched my dad train our dogs, take them to the vet, trim their nails, give them hair cuts, bathe them, walk them, and most importantly, show them love. I also love cats! I worked at small animal hospital as an Exam Technician where I helped care for and assess dogs and cats who came into our care. During the summer of senior year of high school, I was accepted to attend UF’s Gator Vet Camp where I worked alongside UF veterinary students and staff to learn about small and large animal care. I have always been an animal lover. Growing up my dad and I would save any injured turtle, bird, lizard, and squirrel we came across. My favorite place to be is at the zoo or an animal farm because animals truly fill my heart with joy!
