Summary
After travelling for the past few months, I am now looking for a fulfilling position where I can use my knowledge and skills in animal care to help others. I have about thirteen years of experience working with horses and am looking to continue to expand my knowledge while being part of a strong team dedicated to giving animals the best care possible. I would be a great addition to your team because I am a hard worker, fast learner, have a great attention to detail, and love working with both animals and people.
