What is your favorite part about working with dogs?
My favorite part about working with dogs is their personalities! They are all unique, and it's so fun to get to know them and their likes/dislikes/quirks/etc. Also, it's just impossible to not be happy when a dog is around. They are wonderful rays of sunshine.
Do you have any pets at home?
Yes, I currently have one miniature Australian Shepherd, named Luna. She is 11 years old and is an absolute dream dog!
What made you want to work with pets?
I rescued my first dog, Murphy, back in 2012. He was absolutely adorable but also the worst puppy EVER! His jumping, biting, and mouthing habits were extreme at such a young age, and I knew I needed serious help. I found a trainer and began working with them on Murphy's bad behaviors and immediately fell in love with dog training. He was such a challenging puppy/dog, and I loved seeing the hard work and training pay off. He became a truly awesome dog and passed away last year, and I owe him all the credit for helping me find my passion in life.
What's your favorite way to spend a day off?
Spending time with my family! There's nothing better!
What dog breed is most similar to your personality and why?
Golden Retriever: Happy/Optimistic; Trusting; A Friend to anyone in need of one; Adores family time; Always up for a nap
What animal would you like to trade lives with for a day and why?

If you were stranded on a deserted island with any of the pets you care for, who would you choose and why?
