Meet the BossHeidi Nicholson

I've spent most of my career serving as an EMT, Firegither, 911 Dispatcher, and worked some at the State. However, I find my true passion is animals. Whatever the breed, size or even species pets are a core for me. I'm beyond excited for the opportunities that lay head for both me and Central Bark.
