I started working with animals in 1999 as a volunteer with the Berkeley Humane Society and a dog walker at a local office building where employees brought their pets to work. I have been passionate about humane pet care and exercise ever since, holding positions as a trail ride leader, horse groom and pit crew for Ride-and-Tie competitions with Indiana Ranch Morgans in Point Reyes. I continued to work as an animal handler and groomer in Los Gatos and then as a kennel attendant in a breed rescue clinic in Santa Cruz, where I worked hard training and socializing adoptable animals to get them into forever-homes. A position as a veterinary receptionist introduced me to the joys of the owner-caretaker relationship. I enjoy being able to service the wonderful pets I meet in my line of business.
