Pets: Maui (Mini Aussie Shepard)

“I always had a soft spot for animal growing up, especially in elementary school. I thought that I would like to help out in any way I can and that means to take school and my career seriously.”

Before I started at EVA, I was a self-employed dog walker while having some other jobs working for Target. I enjoyed having one on one moments with animals and getting to know their personalities.

I enjoy playing the piano and learning new things in my classes. I also like to travel a lot, especially to California and Japan.

My pet is actually our family’s pet! His name is Maui, and he is a Mini Aussie Shepard. He just turned two this year. He is my brother’s dog who he had adopted when Maui was still a puppy until my brother moved back and now lives with my mom and sister. He got his name from one of the locations in Hawaii.
