Veterinary Rehabilitation Specialist
I was the kind of kid that brought bugs in the house to keep them safe and snuck out of school to take stray dogs home. I volunteered at various wildlife rescues growing up and went on to intern and work at a few different veterinary clinics. I then completed training as a vet tech. I have been a vegetarian for over 20 years. I did some rehabilitation training with fish and wildlife, and completed a holistic healing certification program. I have always had compassion for all animals, but realized quickly that I had a unique understanding of the "creepy critters" that many people feared. I started out helping reptile enthusiast groups with their compromised animals and eventually began taking in reptiles and arthropods that others could not care for. That was the beginning of Creepy Critters Rescue. I now run a nonprofit organization that rescues, rehabilitates, socializes, and rehomes all kinds of "creepy critters".
We also run educational programs for schools, communities, and organizations. We have done reptile and arthropod workshops for the Silicon Valley Humane Society, Schmahl Science Workshops, Girl Scouts of America, Boy Scouts of America, and many charter schools, public schools, private schools, and homeschool groups.
We have a several 1/4 acre enclosed slider sanctuaries and are taking in new sliders daily so they can live out natural lives.
We are funded by donations from our community. We depend on these donations to continue our mission.
