I have spent a year volunteering as an animal caretaker at a veterinary clinic and another two and a half years employed as an animal caretaker. I have undertaken two years of educational experience in animal science at Oklahoma State University. I have an understanding of canine behavior. My experience with animals in a veterinary atmosphere as well as skills I aquired as a nurse with their two legged companions have taught me to be attentive to their overall physical health. I am cognizant of their safety at all times. I have had dogs as pets my entire life. Animals hold a special place in my heart. I offer them love understanding and companionship just as they do me while providing leadership they require for proper interactions between people and other pets.
