About Imari

My love for animals started during my childhood where I dreamt of becoming a Veterinarian. Throughout my high school years, I volunteered at the Oakland's SPCA which furthered my love for animals and led me to enroll in a vet tech program. In 2013, I worked as a Kennel supervisor at a day care and boarding facility for a little over a year before leaving to starting my vet tech program. After 4 internships and 1 externship at pet hospitals, in 2016, I graduated and officially became an animal nurse. While in vet tech school, I started dog walking and pet sitting and valued this intimate, happy time I was spending with animals. This inspired me to go to business school at California State University, East Bay where I received a Bachelors degree in Business Marketing and started my first business that is proudly black woman-owned and operated.
