Summary
If you can't tell by the word 'tarantulas', I'm someone who's not afraid to take much of anything head on. I can do it all: from wrangling venomous, creepy crawlies to helping with inventory management and customer education! I thrive in fast-paced environments, ensuring accuracy and fostering strong relationships at every job I've had the pleasure of working.
