- How long have you been a part of the AMC team?
I became a part of the AMC team when I was 15. I started by volunteering then worked as a kennel care team member until after high school.

- What drew you to this profession?
My love and passion for animals led me to a career where I can help and comfort them.
- What is your favorite part of your job?
It’s hard to choose my favorite thing as I have a few, but I love working with this group of people that are my second family, I love learning new skills, and I love being able to hold and meet so many different animals.

A perfect day would end with all of our appointments have a happy and fulfilling ending where every pet and their owner’s needs are met.
