I have a strong desire to learn more about animals. I myself have two dogs and two cats currently who to me are more than pets they are family. I took Vet tech classes during my time in high school at New Horizons in Newport News. While I have been in retail my whole life my desire to work with animals never went away. I would like an opportunity to learn a new job and help animals and people at the same time.
