Hi, my name is Melissa! I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant through Animal Behavior College and have worked with animals for approximately eight years. I have had a passion for animals since as early as I can remember and have had various animals as pets, ranging from dogs, rodents, birds, reptiles, and aquatic. I currently have my dog companion, Scooter, a 4-year-old Yorkshire Terrier mix trained to be a therapy dog, and we both enjoy making people happy. I plan to continue working with animals, making it a long-term career for myself.
