Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’ve spent years caring for my own dog, who experiences seizures, and my senior cat, whom I lovingly cared for through his final years. These experiences taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and understanding that every pet has their own needs and personality. My passion for animals has also led me to pursue extensive academic and hands-on experience. I studied veterinary medicine throughout high school, completed an intensive summer program at Cornell’s College of Veterinary Medicine, earned a biology degree, and most recently interned rehabilitating New Jersey wildlife. I’m comfortable reading body language, recognizing concerning symptoms, administering medications, and providing canine and feline first aid and CPR. I’m detail-oriented and attentive to each pet’s needs, while also loving to play with energetic pets and keep them happy, engaged, and exercised!
