I grew up in Milford, Ohio where I have gained extensive experience working with multiple animal rescue organizations in the Cincinnati area. Through my work with these organizations, I have developed valuable skills in both pet management and team leadership. While my previous work was primarily focused on dogs, I have also worked with horses, including my own horse Levi, in both general horsemanship and trick riding. Additionally, I volunteer at SoulStang, a mustang rescue that utilizes horses to aid in the rehabilitation of veterans and individuals struggling with PTSD.

In my free time, I prioritize maintaining my physical health through exercise and enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking with my 3 dogs and being a mother to little girl who is following my passion for the love of animals as well. Ultimately, working with animals is not just a hobby for me, but a lifelong passion. This is exemplified by my recent adoption of Dutton my Border collie fostered; I have been fostering dogs since 2016, so far around 30 dogs have come through my home needing some confidence boosting/ behavioral issues. I look forward to utilizing my prior / new knowledge and experience to educate and support the next generation of pet parents, I can not wait to meet your furry family member!
