I'm a devoted animal lover who has grown up in the suburbs of Chicago all my life. I graduated from Southern Illinois University, Carbondale where I studied public relations. I have 3 dogs (Roxy, Jake & Lacy), 3 bearded dragons, 1 panther chameleon, 1 crested gecko, 3 hamsters and tons of fish. I used to rescue animals of all types from exotics to birds, fish to reptiles. My dream is to live in the middle of nowhere with lots of land and tons of animals. Dream job? Easy - Animal cruelty investigator. I look forward to helping such an awesome cause where as you already know, we are their voices. ;)
