Additional Information

I am a student at Baker College, I attended the Veterinary Technician program from August-December unfortunately did not get in, but I am wanting to try again this Fall. I have many close friends whom I have met through working in Vet Med that I consider my family. I had taken a break from working in Vet Med for a few months and still now after loosing passion from working at Fruitport (I had only worked there for a few weeks since I did not appreciate the clinic atmosphere and I did miss my old coworkers). I then decided to go into human med and I do like it but, my passion is Vet Med and I love working with Animals, and I love helping the people around me. I believe it is important to enjoy the job you do and making everyone around me feel safe, happy and know they can depend on me. I had started at Kelley's in 2020 then, left 2022 due the management. Started new job at Fruitport from March-May 2022, ultimately working back at Kelley's due to missing my old job, then I had left due to management not changing. Now I have worked at Walgreens for 9 months I do like the people and the atmosphere there. I just want to get back to doing what I love, working in human med feels like a job and working in Vet med feels like a hobby. I hope you consider me as a candidate and I appreciate your time, thank you!
