A Little About Me
Since I was young, I was always the sibling bringing home injured wildlife and homeless cats and dogs, begging my mom and dad to let me keep them. Eventually, I grew up and started my first career as a public school teacher. Yes, I was THAT teacher! My classroom regularly featured a variety of animal life such as rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, ferrets, baby squirrels, and baby chicks. Over the years, it has been my honor to volunteer with the SPCA and PetSmart, which included caring for and fostering kitties. In 2022, I retired from teaching and began the overwhelming task of trying to figure out what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. The Cat's Pajamas was the perfect opportunity to fulfill my passion for animals, draw upon all of my previous experience and continue to serve a greater purpose. In addition, I am currently the proud mom and grand-mom of five cats, three dogs and a horse.
