Raised on farm, have experience since birth with both large and small animals. Following my upbringing, obtained BS in Animal Science and began working as veterinary tech in 1996. Have been volunteer for numerous shelters and rescue organizations, and share my life with four rescue dogs. Additionally, gained zoo experience with exotic species and kept several exotics as pets in college, including a 15 foot Burmese Python. Most recently been ER/ICU veterinary technician and horse farm manager, where my education and experience have been used to make a living. I feel very strongly that the cliche, "if you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life," is very true! Today i remain passionate about animal care in numerous venues and would love caring for your pet.
