The ANimals
This crazy life is shared with silly dogs, destructive house rabbits, wonderful fish, and a wide variety of horses. Each creature lends its skills to create chaos in this crazy life.
The People
Sam is an artistic nerd with a passion for animals. Aside from her carefree companions there are some people there too.
The activities
Between the duties of daily life, there is still plenty of time to have fun.
Animals and Sam
Sam was born and raised around animals. Her parents had dogs since before she was born. At the age of seven she got her first personal pet, a guinea pig named Aaron. At the age of ten her family got a puppy and she began learning how to train. She later expanded from training dogs to training fish. Soon after she started working with fish, she also began working with horses. Her most recently added animals are bunnies.
Artistic
Aside from loving animals, Sam loves art. From pencil and paper to digital media, she loves experimenting with many different art forms.
Nerd
Whether we’re talking grades or games, the term ‘nerd’ defines Sam perfectly. She loves main stream games, classics, and lesser known titles on any platform.
Life in the present
Sam is currently in the M.S. Clinical Mental Health Counseling at McDaniel College. She is also holding down a full time position at Washington County Public Schools.
Between work and school, Sam works hard at maintaining and expanding her skills in the equine field. She rides several times a week and spends as much time working at the barn as possible. She also enjoys reading and watching videos about horses.
Life in My Dreams
After graduating from McDaniel, Sam plans to pursue her board license. After that, she will get a job in her field while attending the Animal Behavior Institute for certification in Animal Assisted Therapy, Therapy and Service Animal Training, and Advanced Equine Training.
Upon completion of her certifications, Sam would like to go into animal assisted therapy, preferably equine assisted therapy. However, that would require further certification. She would ultimately like to operate out of her own facilities.
