Husbandry Worker

- This job taught me about the finfish aquaculture business, and it gave me the chance to work on my resilience because I had to walk 40 minutes to get to work and 40 minutes back since I did not have a car, and buses did not get to the farm.

- Observed animals for signs of illness or injury and reported any changes in health to veterinarians.
