I’m an outdoorsy person and any chance I get to learn about an animal or the environments it inhabits, sign me up!

The people that I work with, the people I get to meet, and all the places I have been able to see. More than anything else, helping people solve problems and giving them the peace of mind knowing everything is getting taken care of.

My willingness to go into dark spaces not knowing what could be in there; (otters are the worst!) I have an eye for detail and pride myself on overcoming most obstacles I encounter by thinking outside the box and creating what is needed to make sure every situation is addressed correctly.

Well, let me count the ways.  It takes courage and a reckless sense of self worth that allows me to put myself in dangerous sitations with little regard for the outcome.  I am dead sexy and a people person with a geniune empathy for people who may need advice about solving their wildlife problems.
