Despite not having any pets growing up I was always drawn to animals. I loved spending time with my friend’s pets and always pestered my parents for one of my own. I got my first pets when I was 17, two brother guinea pigs. They were the joy of my life. While I had them I started my very first job at a daycare and found a love for children, especially babies. I worked at the daycare for 5 years and during that time hatched 2 turtle eggs and cared for them over the winter. Having turtles and seeing them grow furthered my love of animals and introduced me to a love of animals that weren’t “typical” pets.

Being able to have a job at a vet clinic has always been my dream and starting work here has shown me that I belong with animals. I wake up excited to come to work and see what the day has in store for me. When I'm not at work I always dog sit for friends and family to get my dog fix until I can have one of my own.

I love to spend time with any animal and love to learn about them. I currently have a guinea pig (my 3rd) and a bunny who keep me on my toes always demanding treats and making messes.
