Q: Tell us about yourself and your experience with animals?
A: Of course I am an animal lover and have had a variety of animals including horses, goats, rabbits, birds, fish….a veritable menagerie of critters. I have worked in the veterinary field since being a volunteer during high school and really could never imagine doing anything else.
Q: What is a fun fact about yourself?
A: I used to show horses, English Jumpers. I enjoy raising poultry (chickens and turkey). I am an avid gardener and love music of all kinds.
Q: What do you love about World Vets?
A: I love that World Vets is such a good example of such a tiny seed of an idea that has blossomed into such an incredibly beneficial program.
Q: What motivates you to volunteer with World Vets?
A: For me, World Vets has checked all the boxes: caring for animals, travel with purpose, making new friends, and being of service to others.
Q: What was your favorite World Vets moment?
A: For one project I brought down saddle pads for the cart horses. I think my favorite moment was seeing the smiles on the children’s faces as they rode away on their new pads, faces just beaming.
