Alycia comes from a long line of animal lovers and always had cats and dogs in her household as a child. Her passion for caring for them quickly grew into a lifelong career, and she has been working in various facets of the pet care industry for 15 years. She began her career as a veterinary technician in an inner-city animal shelter where she was responsible for supervising the well-being and rehabilitation of homeless animals. She then parlayed her experience as a vet tech and her leadership skills into a management position at a pet boarding/daycare facility where she was in charge of the daily care and medical needs of over 250 pets daily. She is currently pursuing her certification in Dog Behavior and Training with Canine Trainers Academy. Outside of her career, Alycia enjoys spending time with her family-partner Vince and her two daughters, Fallyn and Ava. They live on a small farm with Beans, their Staffordshire terrier mix, Moses, their cat, and several chickens and ducks. Alycia also spends her time fostering with a local rescue, assisting in finding special needs pets and puppies their forever homes.
