I’ve had a love for all animals ever since I was I child. In addition to always having a pet in the family, I’ve also worked with dogs and cats in other settings. I volunteered at a local animal shelter as a teenager, in which I helped by walking the dogs, playing with them, and giving lots of attention! I also worked at a preventative veterinary clinic as a clinic assistant for a while last year. My responsibilities included holding the pet while the veterinarian completed services like general wellness checks, vaccines, drawing blood for tests, etc. During my time at the veterinary clinic, I was able to receive an “Expert Handler” accolade.
