I have dedicated my academic career to the welfare and husbandry of various species, including dogs and cats of course :). Specifically, throughout my undergraduate and graduate studies I have gained extensive experience walking/playing, training, feeding, and medicating both dogs and cats. Over the years, I have also completed several veterinary hospital internships, and have volunteered extensively at animal shelters by taking on a variety of different roles (e.g. cat care shift leader, medical assistant, etc.). Overall, I have 1000+ hours of experience with both cats and dogs. Lastly, I have two Bachelors degrees in Biology and Animal Behavior from Towson University and am certified in Applied Animal Behavior from the University of Washington. I have also recently finished my Ph.D. in Biology (Penn State), and will begin my career as a science teacher this fall. Please feel free to contact me with ANY questions you may have! Have a wonderful day! Very Kind Regards, Dr. M
