Personal Message : I am from Nebraska, raised by my Argentinian parents with strong values in empathy, inclusion, and love. I adore dogs and animals alike, and enjoy taking care of others and spreading my love for connection. I've had the pleasure of living with and raising two doggos with my sister, and I'm a proud doggy uncle to many friends.
