Calle grew up in St. Louis, MO and has always had a love for animals. She had a plethora of pets growing up like dogs, cats, guinea pigs, fish, geckos, and turtles. She worked with bonobos at Ape Initiative here in Des Moines for three years after college at Drake University, and then decided to try her hand in the domestic animal world! She finds rehabilitation work fascinating and loves learning more and more about it everyday!
