She obtained a job at VCA Loomis Basin as a kennel assistant in 2018. During her time in college, she moved over to VCA American River Animal Hospital in 2019 as a veterinary assistant. She will be sitting to take the VTNE exam in the near future to obtain her RVT license. She currently owns two of her own dogs, five cats and a horse that she competes in three-day events. She is an avid video game and anime fan. She loves taking her dogs on long road trips, to her horse shows or just out for a hike. One of her cats even joins in on the fun and goes kayaking with her!
