Custom Section
I am going to start attending classes at the end of August studying Animal Science, as my ultimate goal is to obtain a DVM and become a small and large animal veterinarian. I am eager to work in a fast-paced animal hospital/clinic environment prior to school, as well as during to ensure I can financially support myself while also obtaining hands-on experience in this field.
Volunteer Experience
Dog Walker and Fosterer at CCAC - 2797 Sams Creek Rd, Pegram, TN
Before officially becoming employed at CCAC, I first stepped in as a volunteer tending to the cats and dogs, participating in play groups, field trips for the animals, adoption events, fundraisers, etc. I also began fostering for the shelter, from having a "fospice" (foster-hospice) dog with terminal lymphoma, to cats needing hydrotherapy and little 2 week-old kittens requiring around-the-clock bottle feeding and stimulating.
