Summary
Dedicated Veterinary Technology student at Hillsborough Community College with a strong passion for animal care, especially for my own horse and cats. My goal is to combine my love for animals with my desire to provide top-tier care, which is why I am pursuing a career in veterinary technology. A hardworking and reliable individual, I value both education and compassion in animal care. Currently balancing my studies with part-time work at a local horse stable, I am gaining hands-on experience in equine care. Seeking part-time work that supports my studies while allowing me to continue caring for my beloved animals.
