Cheryl grew up in SF, and has stayed in California throughout her education. A recent graduate of UC Davis, Cheryl grew her love of pets into a degree in Animal Science. From a young age, Cheryl loved animals, but when her parents refused her a pet, she set her eyes on becoming a veterinarian. As a young adult, she volunteered much of her time at local animal shelters, and after receiving her degree, she has achieved the goal of being surrounded by animals each day. When she isn’t at work, Cheryl loves spending time cooking or baking, watching movies with friends, or spending time getting active on hikes. She also shares her home with her first pet, a 2-year-old Flame Point Siamese named Soju [citation].
