Brianna Burton, Receptionist

Hi, I'm Brianna! I am 22 years old, born and raised here in Marion. I've always been an animal lover, but didn't really know that working with/around them was something I wanted to do until I worked at one of the local animal shelters. I have an almost 3 year old Australian shepherd, and if I'm not working you can find me attempting to burn off his energy. I'm very excited and look forward to meeting all of you and your fur babies.
