Alexa - Lead Kennel Tech and "Yoda"

Rita and her soulmate Ser Kiplin

Lead Assistant

I was born and raised in China and left home to attend college in Toronto right after turning 18. I moved down to Houston the following year. Here I graduated Cum Laude from UH in pre-med, majoring in Human Nutrition and Biology. Instead of becoming a dietician as my family expected, I decided to pursue my real passion for animals. I’ve been volunteering with SMART rescue since 2015, doing kennel keeping, feral colony maintenance and performing TNR - which led me to my 5 foster-fails: Vabobo, Ana, Vronsky, Zephyr, and Neeko. I am the mother of 6 cats & 3 Guinea pigs and love every second of it! In my spare time I enjoy gourmet food, gardening, wine tasting, classic rock (especially Dire Straits and The Doors!) RPG playing, bad joke, badminton and cycling.
