Animal Care Assistant
Joined the ACOC team in February 2024

What is one thing you will never do again?
Forget to bring gloves when I'm cleaning something up. You only make that mistake once.

If you had a theme song during your workday, what would it be?
I would probably choose Dancing queen by Abba, it just helps lighten the mood and keeps me upbeat and moving!

What are you most passionate about outside of work?
Livestock and Agriculture with a focus into beef and swine! I grew up with a lot of animals and on a small hobby farm so I have always been very interested in working in agriculture one day!

If you could come up with a clinic slogan, what would it be?
It would probably be, ACOC: We Dare to Care.

I love talking to clients about...
I love talking to the clients and getting to know each of their pets stories, what they enjoy and how we can make this a fun, seamless transition for them while trying to keep it as stress free for both the clients and their pets. I also love doing happy visits and talking about what options we have for specialized boarders!

What is your favorite thing or most inspiring part of your position at ACOC?
I'd have to say that one of my favorite parts of my job is getting to  work with each of the animals and their owners to make this stay a pleasant experience. I also love to watch the more nervous pets come out of their shell during their stay and getting to know their personalities. I also love sending our complimentary updates during a pets stay because I get to let their family know how they are doing and that they're safe during their boarding stay!

What is your favorite ACOC core value and why?
It has to be between Grow and Passionate! I love the opportunities that the ACOC offers me to keep growing and to continue my knowledge of caring for animals and how we can always work to make their quality of life better. And for Passionate it's because I know that when I come into work everything we do is for the betterment of your animals
