Bio- As a Florida native, I spent most of my childhood outdoors – running, swimming, and climbing and felt like I shared a commonality with the animals around me. When I got older, I opened my home to lost and injured animals from bottle feeding baby squirrels, rescuing an anhinga with a broken leg and, most recently, rehoming a very lost rooster to a nearby farm. I love all animals, but I have a special spot for the typically ‘unloved’: spiders, snakes, and bats are my favorites!
