Additional Information
I have employment gaps and short stints at jobs due to challenges in the past I have greatly overcome today! I have found ways to cope and manage my time, took the chance to really find what makes me happy and study on the subjects of animal care and health and hone my skills! It's been a path of self discovery and finding out my true strengths and what I can bring to the workplace as an energetic and positive, animal loving fireball! I did not waste the time, instead I was able to study a lot and learn so much relating to the animal field! I have proven to myself time and time again that I am capable and I can do what I set my mind to with determination, hard work and not giving up.
