I’m 20 years old and live in Redwood Falls, close to my family—who mean a lot to me. I recently moved into my own place and have been enjoying the independence and new experiences that come with it.

I’ve been working at the Redwood Area Animal Shelter since September 2024 as a Shelter Assistant. During the day, I’m responsible for making sure the animals are well cared for—keeping their spaces clean, making sure they’re fed and hydrated, and helping out wherever I’m needed. I love being part of a team that truly cares about animals.

When I’m not working, I enjoy relaxing, hanging out, and watching TV.
