I started pet-sitting for people around my community at a very young age. I prepared food and water following instructions from pet owners, gave animals proper attention to promote a secure environment in the owner's absence, exercised animals regularly with walks and rigorous play activities, and maintained a clean and safe environment for pets, ensuring their comfort and well-being at all times.

Barnwell Baton and Dance is for students ages 3-18. I assisted the head coach with lessons, parades, student formation techniques, and helped evaluate the best ways to help our students reach their full potential.

I started working here as a work-study through FFA at the beginning of my senior year of high school. I helped around the office and boarding kennels with anything they needed and obtained so much knowledge.
