Most people love dogs. But I love what makes dogs dogs!

I grew up in a Labrador family. And when I got my very own puppy at 13, I spiraled. Training became a hobby, and then when I began fostering, it became a passion. After my discharge from the Air Force, I started working at pet retailer Mud Bay, where I stayed for six years until I moved to Montana to work at my dream job at a working dog facility. I've since returned to the Portland area, and I'm excited to reenter the pet care community!

I know how hard it is to trust your pets with someone else, which is why I make an ongoing effort to become the best handler I can be.

I am a member of IACP, certified in canine and feline CPR, and I’m always making an effort learn more through pet-related seminars and courses.
