years of professional experience

Throughout my Zoology studies, I conducted hands‑on research on lungfish, demonstrating scientific curiosity and commitment to wildlife biology. While completing my degree, I simultaneously worked as a key carrier, managing money handling, store operations, and customer relations. Balancing academic research with professional responsibilities strengthened my time management, discipline, and motivation, allowing me to excel in both environments and consistently show strong drive in working with animals and people.
