Lifelong Passion for Animals

My journey in the animal industry began long before it became my career. As a child, I spent countless hours reading every animal book I could find, participating in Humane Society youth programs, and joining Dog Scouts in 2013. When I welcomed my first dog in 2009, I became fascinated by the way animals communicate through body language and behavior. That curiosity sparked a lifelong passion for understanding animals and ultimately led me to pursue animal behavior professionally.

Education & Professional Development

My commitment to animal welfare and behavior led me to earn a Bachelor of Science in Animal Sciences with a concentration in Behavior and Well-Being from Purdue University. Through my studies, I gained a deeper understanding of animal learning, cognition, welfare, husbandry, and the science behind behavior and training.

Recognizing the importance of combining animal expertise with strong professional skills, I later earned a Master of Business Administration (MBA). Beyond formal education, I remain committed to lifelong learning through mentorships, certifications, seminars, and continuing education opportunities to stay current with the latest research and best practices in animal care and training.
