Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. From rescuing strays as a child to working alongside veterinarians, animal control teams, and shelter staff, I’ve spent over three decades in the world of animal care. I earned my Veterinary Assistant Certification and later my LVT, which allowed me to serve in both clinical and rescue settings — including 16 years in animal rescue. I’ve managed grooming salons, led kennel operations, and built strong relationships with the families and communities I’ve served. Whether it’s fostering, grooming, or providing medical care, I’ve always believed in treating every animal with compassion and honoring their unique spirit. This work has never been just a job to me — it’s a lifelong mission, and one I feel grateful to continue every day.

All my life I have always wanted to help others. I grew up in Florida with a big family. I have a disabled brother so growing up we were in and out of doctor's offices and hospitals and it showed me how much people really do care about others, and I wanted to be just like them. So, while still in high school I got my CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant) certification. I absolutely loved working as a CNA for 3 years. Then my life changed after a vehicular accident, and I wasn’t able to do that type of work anymore. I started working in a Pain Management doctor's office working as a Medical Assistant, but I felt like something was missing in my life. I bought a house in Alabama and moved up here. I started visiting the animal shelter and donating to the pets in need. That’s when I found the key to my heart, animals! My goal now in life has changed to help animals in need and making sure they have a happy life as well as giving pet families a safe and loving environment they can bring their dogs without a worry about the care they are receiving.

Working with animals has always been a true passion of mine. Whether I'm dodging zoomies in the play yard or getting lovingly drooled on during bath time, I genuinely enjoy every chaotic and heartwarming moment being in the animal field. In the past years I've gained hands-on experience in vet med and at the local animal shelter down in Florida where I grew up. There my roles were wide in range but I learned some good values like how to care for animals with all kinds of quirks, from drama queen cats to dogs who think they’re lap-sized ponies. I'm a proud pet parent to two rescued senior dogs who have taught me patience, empathy, and that lint rollers are a way of life. I truly love what I do and am committed to giving every animal the love, laughter, and care that they deserve.
