Clarissa grew up in upstate New York where not much ever happens. After earning her bachelor’s degree, she moved to Ithaca, New York, before moving to the West Coast. She comes from a human health care background and has worked as a cancer board coordinator, a laboratory applications analyst, and a data analyst. Clarissa is very excited to be able to use her background to help animals and those who care for them.

When Clarissa isn’t stopping random passersby to ask them questions about their dogs, she enjoys Pilates, cross-country skiing, watching movies, and reading books. She is a family tree research fan and has traced her family lines back to the late 1500s. Clarissa has a pug named Pumba who is a certified therapy animal and loves participating in the Read to the Dogs program at the local library and visiting with those in assisted living and memory care and nursing homes.
