Summary

I have a unique background that combines both customer service and hands-on experience in two very different environments. As a vet assistant/receptionist, I’ve developed good communication skills, gained knowledge about animal care, and learned how to manage a busy schedule while supporting veterinarians and pet owners. On the other hand, when I worked at Sonic it taught me fast-paced customer service, handling orders, and multitasking under pressure. Both roles have helped me become adaptable, quick-thinking, and comfortable interacting with a diverse range of people and responsibilities. What I can offer is adaptability, customer focus, very strong work ethic, teamwork and much more.
