I have literally worked for the “underdog”—those without a voice in this human society—for my whole life.  This began with the homeless animals that surrounded me on the roofs of my grandmother’s duplex and in the streets of Los Angeles.   When they were seen as a burden by the turbulent environment around them, the animals trusted me to guide them to safety.  This love and connection led me through many “jobs” in which animals have always been my central focus.  For many years, I worked as a technician for veterinarians in both inner cities and on farms.

I was seven months pregnant when we relocated to Texas in 1991. I was a wife, a soon-to-be mother, and 1500 miles away from my loved ones. We moved site unseen to my “Oma” in laws old house. For the first two months I was mostly alone and unable to work because it looked like a basketball was in my belly.  The only friend I thought I had was our rabbit, which rode on my lap in the U-Haul the entire trip here. The moment I was able to enter the workforce; I sought out the horse carriage owners and drove the carriages in downtown San Antonio during the evenings so I could be home in the daytime for my new baby Madison.  This seemed perfect.  The carriage drivers care and groom the horse before they hook up and head downtown to give tours.  I learned about the city and the requirements of the upkeep to comply with animal rights activists.  I was already a member of PETA when I moved to Texas.

My first life objective is to treat animals humanely. and help them maintain a sound emotional state.
