In 2012 I was determined to follow my childhood dream of becoming a vet. Starting out at Oregon State University I was a Pre-Vet Major. A few years into my major, I realized becoming a Veterinarian was not in the books for me. Reluctant to switch my majors, I finished with my Bachelors of Animal Science in 2017. After finishing my Bachelors I accepted an Assistant Management position at Dutch Brothers. During this time I learned how to lead and instruct a large number of people, handle complaints from customers, and alter operations in a way that would make the business more successful. I then switched jobs and was an assistant in a few schools and helped kids ranging from Kindergarten up to Freshman. I helped these kids to succeed in areas they struggled whether it was academic or personal. Overall though I learned that my love of being an outreaching hand when people needed it was something I needed to follow and pursue which lead me to my career in Real Estate.
