Shandel was born and raised in Connecticut but moved to Miami after high school to attend the University of Miami. She is currently pursuing a bachelorâs degree in Health Management & Policy with a minor in Gender & Sexuality Studies. Passionate about both womenâs health and social equity, Shandel hopes to one day combine these interests to improve health outcomes for women across the country.
Although she didnât grow up with pets, Shandel has always been fascinated by animals. After moving to Miami, she began volunteering at a local animal shelter and quickly transitioned into a staff role to spend even more time caring for the dogs. Her love for animals since then has only grown! In her free time, Shandel loves staying active and being outdoors. She enjoys running, hiking, kayaking, and exploring nature and what the world has to offer by traveling. When not outdoors, she also loves to bake, try new foods, and spend time with friends and family. Shandelâs genuine love for animals and compassion make her a great caretaker for all of your beloved pets!
