Hi all, my name is Caleigh and I was born and raised in Cedar Rapids. While growing up, I've always loved animals, especially dogs. When my family finally got our dog, I was ecstatic. In high school, I knew I wanted to pursue a career with animals, so I got my foot in the door by working at an animal shelter. While studying animal science at Iowa State, I continued working with animals by working as a kennel attendant at an animal hospital in Des Moines. By then I knew I wanted to work in a hospital setting because I always want what's best for a client's pet. When I'm not at work, I'm usually going for a run when it's nice out, catching up on the latest shows, watching Cyclone sports, or spending time with my family.
