Summary

Currently, about to graduate from the University of Hawaii at Manoa with a Bachelor's degree in Animal Science and seeking the opportunity to have a successful future career in veterinary medicine. I am a focused Veterinary Assistant, capable of basic restraints, running labs, and caring for animals in hospital and boarding settings. I am currently improving my efficiency with blood draws, iv catheters and medications for certain situations. I can pick up new topics and quickly close any knowledge gaps to offer value to my employers and team. I am very excited to jump into a new setting that allows me to grow and help animals, while communicating their needs to their owners.
