Since I was young, animals have always been a central part of my life. Growing up in a home surrounded by pets, I developed a deep understanding of animal behavior, needs, and the responsibilities of care. Over the years, I’ve expanded my knowledge and skills through various hands-on experiences, including spending several summers at farm camps where I was directly involved in the daily care of a variety of animals. Through these formative experiences, I learned to care for different species, from small household pets like cats and dogs, to farm animals such as horses, goats, chickens, and even larger livestock. I became skilled in feeding routines, administering basic medications, grooming, and maintaining safe, clean environments for animals of all sizes. My time on the farm also helped me build problem-solving abilities, as I learned to address the unique needs and behaviors of each animal.
