Paulynne grew up in the Philippines surrounded by many animals- dogs, cats, turtles, fish and rabbits among many others that she fostered.  Paulynne is active in local animal advocate groups and travels to developing countries to bring veterinary care and promote animal welfare. Her ardent desire to work and help animals has driven Paulynne to shift careers from human resources and pursue veterinary medicine. She is currently a pre-vet student. During her free time she enjoys travelling, cooking, hiking, backpacking and enjoying the outdoors.
