I was born and raised in St.francis Minnesota on an Apple orchard. We had a lot of animals which I loved. We had horses, dogs, cats, etc. I loved going to county fairs and playing outside with my friends. I grew up very close with my family, specifically my two brothers and grandmothers. With my older brother’s chronic health conditions and autism, as well as my love for animals; my childhood had me grow into a very empathetic person so I advocate for animal protection for abused and endangered animals, and for research and financial support for families with children with health conditions.
