I've grown up with dogs in my house my whole life. I couldn't imagine ever living without one around me. For the past few years, I've helped out friends and family members with dog care simply because I want any excuse to be around dogs all the time. They bring me such endless joy and therapy. I am grateful for their unconditional love and would be elated to have that from any dog I meet or care for. I am a graduate from Pratt Institute looking for a career in the arts. Unfortunately, finding that dream job in New York right now isn't very easy but I hope to continue my passion in any way I can. In the new year, I will be starting a new position as an Assistant Preschool Art Teacher which I am very excited about. I adore working and caring for children (almost as much as I do for dogs). If I can fill my work with with helping children learn art and caring for sweet pups, I'd say that's a pretty good life.
