Additional Information
I am originally from South Africa. I was born in a small town, surrounded by farms. I grew up with all sorts of pets, like dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, rabbits, goldfish, etc.
I have always had an interest in working with animals, whether it is in the veterinary practice itself or volunteering at a shelter or even taking strays in and help them find their forever home.
