Summary

I am a well-rounded and knowledgeable professional in multiple areas. I am able to adapt to the work environment I'm a part of, and work well with my coworkers and colleagues. My experience in animal care gives me skills in behaviour management and supervision, specifically with larger dogs. My experience in school settings has given me the ability to work with the community and I have the tools to advocate and represent the things I'm passionate about.
