I'm originally from Wisconsin (Go Pack Go) and went to UW-Whitewater and UW-Milwaukee with the plan to become a social worker, but decided it was not for me. I moved to Chicago when I was 21 and started working with animals shortly after and honestly cannot imagine doing anything else! I am the proud mom of my two fur-babies, Orange Juice and Herman. When I'm not at work, I like nerd-ing out and learning more about animals, going to or watching football games or trying new restaurants with friends. Binge watching shows on Netflix also plays a decent size role in my life :)
