Summary
I'm a soon to be 17 year old girl with a passion for animals and interactions with all types of people. At home I have my adorable 5 year old mini lop x rex rabbit named Covie. We lost Millie, our family calico cat last year due to her old age (16 years). Three days a week my time is spent at Littleriver Equestrian where I learn multiply skills about horse care. Outside of animals I have a passion for distance running which I do 5-6 times a week covering around 60km.
