It has been my dream to work with animals since I was a young child. I have always had a deep love for dogs and animals in general.

I was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and moved to Melbourne, Australia at a very young age, where I spent my childhood and built a love for Australian wildlife.

At 20, I moved to the United Kingdom, where my parents were born, and it was there that I met my husband. In 2014, we packed up our lives, including our husky who we rescued from Battersea Dogs Home in London, and moved to the United States.

We started out in New York City, which I still think is one of the most dog-friendly places in the world. There are dog parks everywhere, dogs on every corner, and a community that truly loves them.

In 2016, we moved to Norwalk, Connecticut. Our husky Storm, loved the beaches and we quickly fell in love with the charm and beauty of New England.
