I have been an animal lover ever since I was little—and not just animals, but all living creatures. When I was younger, I would save even the smallest creatures from getting injured, whether it was saving worms from drowning during rainstorms, redirecting ants, or creating shelters for all sorts of insects and animals. I still do these things today! My whole family is in human medicine, and I had planned to follow in their footsteps, until one summer I did an internship at a wolf sanctuary and realized that working with animals is a true calling of mine. From there, I graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder—with a degree that did not help my career decision in the slightest (major in psychology and minor in sociology). So, I began working my way from the bottom up. I worked as a doggy daycare attendant, a kennel technician, and now am working as a veterinary technician. I’m currently enrolled in Penn Foster in the hopes of achieving my certification soon!
 
A little about the creatures roaming around my house (and not paying rent, I might add): I have four cats! I never thought I would have even one cat; I was always a dog lover. But as it turns out, I may be turning into a crazy cat lady. I have a black domestic long hair named Oliver, an orange short hair with one eye named Momo (pictured here), a three-legged shorthair black cat named Bow, and a shorthair Siamese mix named Yuki. They are all absolutely crazy, but I love each and every one of them for their own uniqueness. I am so happy and excited to continue my veterinary journey with Northwest Neighborhood Veterinary Hospital!
