Antonietta with Brasher - Craig
I am passionate about all areas of animal welfare and the environment, and have a firm belief that everything that is living on this planet deserves respect and has a right to be here.
I have studied and animal care and management, which I feel has been vital in taking care of my own animals (two dogs and a cat), and advising my family and friends on the importance of proper nutrition, basic training and general care. In addition to this, I have written course material related to all areas of animal welfare, development and management.
I am currently studying a Bachelor of Arts in the Society, Life and Learning Stream, where I am majoring in Sociology and History.
