Favorite movie featuring animals: The Lion King. This is my favorite movie because it was the start of my love for animals.

What was your first pet? My first pet was a calico cat named Bug. He was the most loving cat I have ever had. 

Favorite part of working with animals? My favorite part of working with animals is getting to create bonds with every animal that walks in to make it a better experience for them and me!

Where did you grow up? I was born and grew up in Phoenix, AZ. 

Dream vacation: My dream vacation would probably be the Bahamas or Ireland. Those places are just so beautiful that I feel like I could never get bored there.
