Summary
Hardworking, Fast Learner, and Professional worker. Worked in the Interior Design Industry a little over 5 years. There will always be a passion for Interior Design, but it's about as equal as for the love of animals and helping them when in need. Always have been a passionate animal lover. Animals don't have a voice to tell us what's wrong. And to be able to help them in some way would absolutely warm my heart. Deep inside there has always been a small fire inside but it just hasn't been lit yet. I am willing to do all I can to learn and study what I need to do to help.
