I started working with animals when I was 7 years old. At 10 I started working on a horse ranch and at 15 I became a horse camp counselor. Since then I have been pet sitting locally for all kinds of animals.
In my spare time, I like to spend time with my cat Penelope. We enjoy watching bluey together or going for walks.
