Summary

An incredibly dedicated and passionate individual when it comes to animals. A current full time student working towards a bachelors degree in Biology and a concentration in D.V.M. I am hoping to do all I can to use the skills I have acquired through my experience and school to continue to aid others and gain more hands on experience from professionals in the field. I have always had a specific interest in all things animals so I like to pride myself in being an all around type of employee that can succeed in any situation where they are needed or put in. Most importantly, I am a student who just has a passion to absorb information and learn, and I’m open to doing that however possible !
