I have had a passion for animals since I was a child, constantly rescuing neighborhood stray cats and kittens. I have spent much of my life volunteering with different organizations to help bring some joy into the world, for both animals and people. In 2008 I started grooming after realizing being a human hairdresser wasn’t my calling (not enough dogs!). I have also worked with wildlife all over the world, including the Induruwa Sea Turtle Conservation Project in Sri Lanka, and the Costa Rica Animal Rescue Center in Turrucares, Alajuela. Also, I am currently in school as a biology student. My favorite thing about working for Paws & Anchor is having the ability to help take care of our local pets, while still having opportunities to help animals all over the globe!
