Canine Behavior Enthusiast
Over my career, I studied canine behavior and training through mentorships, hands-on applications in high-volume companion animal operations, and Fear Free certifications.
Varied Species Experience
I have extensive experience handling a variety of different creatures. I welcome species of all kinds, including, but not limited to: dogs, cats, goats, horses, lizards, rabbits, chickens, and beyond! (Nothing illegal, please!)
Experienced Hiker
In my spare time, I enjoy traveling and hiking with my hounds to experience new landscapes, wildlife, weather, and terrain.
Career Veterinary Technician
I have over 15 years of experience as a veterinary technician, starting in general practice and evolving to specialty services like emergency, ICU, oncology, and integrative therapies.
