I have been responsible for the care of family dogs, rabbits, birds, fish, a cat and a pig for a number of years. I love dogs of all sizes and ages, and have cared for my family's 12-year old yellow lab Gracie since she was a puppy. I have cared for my own rabbits Robby, who I adopted from foster care in 2019, and Lola, who sadly passed in 2013, as well as my older sister's rabbits Theo and Delilah. We have had Tutu, our cockatiel, since I was born! She is 19 years old and going strong. Our family's rescue cat, named Turkey because she appeared on our doorstep on Thanksgiving day in 2019, was nursed back to health by my older sister, now in her first year at Penn Veterinary school, and Turkey has since become a beloved family pet. I have cleaned and fed family fish tanks and aquarium tanks as a husbandry intern at the Maria Mitchell Association on Nantucket Island. Last, but not least, I have helped care for our rescue Julianna pig, Melvin, since we adopted him 3 years ago. I love being around animals of all kinds!
