I always wanted to be a veterinarian so when I got the chance to work in a shelter, it felt so natural. I worked as a handler, kennel attendant, and field officer and learned as much as I could about the animals I was working with. Now I can’t imagine doing anything else!
If you could have any animal in the world as a pet, what would it be, and why?
A monkey! They’re adorable and They’re intelligent.
Do you currently have any pets? What are their names and what is your favorite thing about them?
I have a beagle mix named Copper. He loves people so much and it’s always so heartwarming to see how excited he gets to see someone new
What do you find most rewarding about working with animals?
Getting to rehabilitate the more timid animals that aren’t used to being in a kennel setting.
What do you enjoy doing when you’re not working?
Spending time with my kids and making the best of it
