I was a certified medical assistant in the human world for many years and caring for others has been in my nature since I was a child. My love and compassion for animals runs just as deep. This is what brought me into rescue, which I was lucky enough to find like minded friends to venture with me and start our own. With this my worlds collided and when I was given the opportunity to join House Paws it just made sense to shift over to a veterinary office. I am a vet tech/surgical tech and happy to say my nursing background has been helpful with the transition. I grew up in NE Philly and moved to South Jersey during middle school. I have had various animals though my life : rabbits, ducks, hamsters, an iguana, dogs, and of course cats. They are my necessity in life, I am the crazy cat lady- not ashamed to say it =).
