I’m a San Diego native with a lifelong love for animals and over 15 years of experience working with them in various roles - including rescue, training, grooming, pet sitting, and veterinary care.

I have always loved animals and I'm very happy to finally work in a field where my passions can be of some use. I have 4 dogs and a Mediterranean gecko and care for a community of 5 stray cats. I’m currently in school to pursue my goal of becoming a veterinarian.
