I started my animal care journey since I could walk. I was raised around aquariums, horses, dogs, cats, reptiles, frogs, raccoons, opossums, bobcats, birds, and ferrets. By 14 I had over 30 Bettas I was breeding and raising. Then I went to working at a pet store and a saddle shop. After that I became a zookeeper. I've worked with a lot of crazy animals so not a lot scares me. I've worked with wild cats like bobcats, pumas, Eurasian lynx, Canadian lynx, servals, and caracals. I've also worked with wolves, foxes, couatimundi, lemurs, prairie dogs, porcupines, bears, and gators. I've worked with saltwater tanks, I've bred snakes, I've also worked at a pet boarding kennel. I was the one they ask for when difficult cats and dogs were boarded. Dogs that had been abused, were fearful, or just plain good at bluffing, that was my pups to work with. Also foxes and wolves were my specialty. Because of my experience I also have an animal training skill set using target training and positive reinforcement. I also know how to administer medications, and I also know the signs of a lot of medical conditions or issues. I also allow the dog to let me know what they need by reading their body language and their personality. I recently been cleared for temporary pass to go onto Tinker Air Force base to tend to family pets.
