Hello! My name’s Tigger. It’s a nickname that most people know me by and (I’m told), suits me well.
My love of animals started when I was very young. My grandparents had a small farm that I loved to visit. My grandparents are gone now but there influence lives on.
I’ve spent two and a half years working at Renton Veterinary Hospital as a Veterinary Assistant. My specialties include avian and mammalian wildlife as well as exotics.
Prior to my time here I spent six years working in and around the field of wildlife rehabilitation. Most of that time was spent working at the P.A.W.S Wildlife Center in Lynnwood, Washington were I got the opportunity to work with many common and not so common native animals. From beavers to bobcats and song birds to great blue herons, I’ve worked with a large number of species. The most memorable moment for me at P.A.W.S. was the first time I gave oral medication to a very alert mature bald eagle. There is nothing like sticking your fingers down a bald eagles throat to get your blood pumping!
My interests include wildlife and I’m an active member of the Washington Wildlife Rehabilitation Association. I also enjoy spending time with my wife and children and invariably working with animals.
