Athena was originally born in Taiwan but grew up in Washington. Her love of animals started with the two adopted dogs that moved with her family from Taiwan. She developed a passion for horses and started horseback riding lessons up until when she left for college at The Ohio State University. She grew up with pets but currently cannot own any so she is living vicariously through all the dog and cat owners that come in. She would also love to get back into riding and being around horses. Her hobbies include going to the theatre to see musicals, reading, and hanging out with friends. She can speak fluent Mandarin and a little bit of Taiwanese so please let her know if you need any language assistance!
