About
Animals have always been a big part of my life, from wonderful childhood pets, to observing wildlife, and my mother raising over a dozen service dogs. Rescuing a terrified and aggressive kitten taught me how much I didn't know and sent me down the path to behavior specialization. I have been fortunate enough to live all over the country and experience a variety of cultures and people here. My home is shared with a Pug-mix Molly, and 3 unique and beautiful cats: Chupie, Ducati, and Stanley. Even in my down time I enjoy learning through visiting museums or watching documentaries and a new hobby of maintaining freshwater aquariums.
