About
My name is Daniel Jason Heeney Jr. I was named after my father. A fun fact about me is that I love training dogs and pet sitting, and it is my primary method of saving for my future education. My current dream job is to be a Veterinarian. I have been dreaming of this ever since I met my first family dog at age 5. I'm expected to graduate from high school with my diploma and my associate's degree, thanks to Running Start. In the fall of 2026, I plan to attend WSU and major in Animal Science so I can get my Bachelor's degree and get to Vet School.
