Alexander B. Pet Care Provider in Union, ME 04862

As the oldest of three, I began sitting my siblings early in life. In high school I continued sitting and worked as a summer camp counselor/saff member; 1 summer in kitchen & dining halll, 3 summers as waterfront lifeguard, and individual camp counselor (adventure camp, travel hiking camp, travel canoe trip camp) for weeks out of each summer.

I received my B.S. in Psychobiology (the study of mental functioning and behavior in relation to other biological processes) from Albright College. As the greenhouse manager at my college, care and tending to the plants, coordinating with professors' experiments/studies/student labs, and facilitating the college's organic garden project kept me busy. I played rugby all four years at school. In addition to it being great fun, I learned the value of sportsmanship, teamwork and trust on the rugby field. I helped coordinate and plan a philanthropic dinner for a professor's son & Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMNH) each spring.

After college I moved back to Maine where I now put my degree and love of the outdoors & animals to work at a Therapeutic Boarding School, with adolescents. The school has at least three therapy dogs on campus at any given time, four mini horses, five barn cats, and eight horses used in the Equine Assisted Psychotherapy and Riding programs.
