Growing up with cats, dogs, hamsters, fish and the occasional tarantula, I’ve always been partial to animals. I believe they bring pure happiness and unconditional love to our lives. I’m a native Chicagoan who recently moved back from California, along with my husband and our two meowy, kitty kids, Olli & Ox. One day we’d love to adopt a rescue racetrack greyhound! After over a decade working in academia, I left my day job to focus on my own small business, Clark & Diversey. This allows me the freedom to be my own boss, make my own schedule and best of all, work with animals. I’m ecstatic to join the Windy City Paws gang and spend time with your furry family member!
