Fun Facts About ejlegere
Personal Bio
Elizabeth holds a B.A. from Smith College. Past work experience includes global sales and marketing for a global hotelier, and 10 years' consulting to multinational corporations for a global actuarial firm.
She was destined to work with animals, though:
As a child, her love for animals started at the family farm where she learned to ride horses, care for cows and feed ducks.
Her past pets have included Heidi the Affenpinscher, S’mut the Lilac-point Siamese, Shag the Bouvier des Flandres and numerous hamsters who found that the best chances for escape were during fancy-dress holiday parties.
Elizabeth currently has two Portuguese Water Dogs, Nutmeg and Bailey, who love hiking, swimming and eating carrots... and who inspired the company Alexandria Pet Care Inc.
