My journey...

Ever since I can remember, I have had immense love, honor and deep respect for all creatures of life. One of my first memories as a child regarding my love for animals was when I found a trail of ants crawling around in our house and I distinctively remember crying and telling my parents to please not kill the ants. My deep love for all creatures started at an early age and has only grown stronger.

I have been involved with animal welfare organizations and volunteered my time at animal shelters including Best Friends Animal Society in Utah. I completed an internship at Saint Francis Wolf Sanctuary, which was an amazing experience working directly with the wolves. I also completed an internship through USGS doing field work in Hawaii. I collected mosquitoes to be analyzed for diseases infecting the native bird population. I also worked rehabilitating wildlife at PAWS Wildlife Center in Washington state and was a veterinary assistant. All of these experiences gave me great joy knowing that I was making a difference helping animals which is my greatest passion.

I obtained my degree in Zoology from Humboldt State University in 2003, completed the Animal Communication Certification Program with Maia Kincaid at The Sedona International School for Animal and Nature Communication in 2016, completed a pet hospice and death doula training in 2022, and I also have a professional dog walking and pet sitting business. 

It is my belief that if we understand our animals on a deeper soul level we are able to achieve a stronger bond and connect with them in ways we never knew were possible.
