JAKE GOLDRATH

I am someone with a work ethic that strives to ensure and maintain an organized, efficient, humane, and aesthetically pleasing environment for all. I am proficient with the tools of my trade, quick to learn, and will always go the extra mile for my clients, and my team, to ensure they have the knowledge and support needed for them to succeed. I have no shortage of confidence in my abilities to create a humane and happy environment for my coworkers, however I am always searching for ways to become more proficient and improve my abilities. I pride myself in the ability to find workable solutions in the areas of aesthetics, financial responsibility, and company culture. When issues inevitably arise, I see them as opportunities and eagerly work towards solving them. If an issue is beyond my capability, I will always communicate the problem, and try to offer multiple solutions. While I think of myself as a very knowledgeable person in my field, I am aware I don't know everything, and always looking for opportunities to learn and grow.

I aim to excel in a career relating to the study, well-being, and conservation of animals, with a special interest in ethology. Some of my proudest work has been in helping bring education and awareness about species and ecosystems to clients who desire the best possible care for their animals, and bringing those environments to life to serve them. I am also passionate and very proud of my work in the areas of conservation and fundraisers for charitable causes, such as the ATZ, GCF, Great Ape Project, and the Center for Great Apes.
