Working and being with animals has always been a passion of mine. My mom never allowed big animals in the household, so I started small with hamsters, fish and other people’s pets. When I got older, I started volunteering with the Jacksonville Humane Society. I knew I was in love. Animals bring a certain happiness that people can't, in my opinion.

"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." Anatole France
