Summary
My three cats are my life I love animals in general but I have always had a special place in my heart for the kitties! Any time we had a aggressive cat come in to the clinic I would always get called upon for the challenge. No cat is bad in my opinion..just misunderstood. I also love the outdoors, volleyball, traveling, camping and hiking are the best. I also love yoga, meditation, hula hooping, dancing, and roller skating! I work well in fast paced environments and am always a team player. I am responsible, outgoing, and detail oriented. I would love to be a part of your team and I very much look forward to hearing from y'all!
