     I'm someone who cares deeply about animals, with a special fondness for birds. I have a cockatiel named Dorian and Elenore who means a lot to me. I enjoy sharing what I've learned about proper animal care and doing what I can to provide homes for birds in need. My goal is simply to make a positive difference in the lives of animals and the people who care for them.

     Growing up on an acreage and having my own feathered friends from a young age, birds have always been a big interest of mine!  

    I love getting to be part of the bigger picture in rescuing/caring for/rehoming domesticated birds, while also getting to help care for the wild birds! Honestly, I'll always be stoked when I get to hear about which birds you've seen in your yard; if you let me in on your birdwatching I'll let you in on mine
