Animal lover at a very young age, although my parents did not allow any kind of animals in the house growing up. When taught, I was able to cat sit my cousin's cat for a couple of days occasionally. I have volunteer experience at the SPCA and Monterey Bay Aquarium. Occasionally visit the SPCA to walk dogs and play with the cats.
