Despite having no formal experience in pet care, I've grown up in a house visitors refer to as a 'zoo.' I care for two cats (Brian and Iris), a dog (Rufus) and a parrot (Herbie) and ever since moving to Glasgow to study I miss loving and caring for my animals so much. I'm studying History and Italian at the University of Glasgow and in my free time I love to paint, read, do yoga, listen to music and go on long walks. In the past I have volunteered in teaching English spent almost a year as a face to face fundraiser and team leader for Oxfam in London. Both experiences as well as others have made me incredibly resilient, reliable, positive, energetic and responsible.
