Those pups craved a forever home so fiercely. It was then that I first began to understand the need to raise money and increase awareness for adoption.<\/p>\n<p>In high school I got involved on the fundraising side, participating in Napa Humane\u2019s Cause for the Paws event every summer I was able. Inspired by Napa Humane\u2019s important work, I signed up for a Vida Volunteer trip as a college freshman to provide free spays and neuters, vaccines, and preventative care for companion animals in Costa Rica and Nicaragua.

After I completed my Bachelor\u2019s degree from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, I entered Mississippi State College of Veterinary Medicine. Graduating last May, I returned to Napa to start my veterinary career at Silverado Veterinary Hospital. With my goal finally realized, I jumped at the opportunity to participate in Napa Humane\u2019s Wellness Clinics as a volunteer vet.<\/p>\n<p>I enjoy giving back, especially now as a doctor.
