Prior professional dog experience:

I had worked at another daycare before coming here, but besides that everything else has been personal.

My dogs are my kids, and my pride and joy.

I also have 3 red eared slider turtles, a baby musk turtle and a leopard gecko.

Favorite breeds:

I love big breeds, but have a soft spot for Mini Aussies.

Favorite activities:

I like exploring Chicago and going to nature settings like Starved Rock. I also enjoy going to places of learning, like museums and zoos.

Future career goals:

I want to open a shelter for domestic and exotic animals. Also to open a business. I would also like to be a herpetologist and paleontologist.

Besides animals, I like learning about history and video games.
