: About Me

Who am I? Well, I am just me! I am 25 and a veterinary assistant and a dog trainer. I have worked at and studied just about everything under the sun.

I spent the last seven years working as a reptile rescuer and educating the public on herps. I decided to persue veterinary studies after working with so many ill reptiles.

I started out in college as a Psych major, then a Sociology major, followed by wildlife, Criminology, Sociology again, then English, and then went on to an assoc in Veterinary Tech and another in Canine behavior and training.

I have been a waitress, retail sales, vaccuum seller, delivery driver, reptile worker, betta fish breeder, a baker, deli worker, and so much more.

I have no husband or kids yet, and no real plans to get any anytime soon. I am close with my family, especially my baby sister and younger cousins.

My first snake was a sign of rebellion. I went to the store every night for a week, then my " . We walked out into the night, pondering a name.
