Summary

To obtain a position that will be beneficial in helping me achieve my goal of becoming a veterinarian. I graduated from Shawnee Heights High School in May of 2022, and I am currently enrolled in the Animal Sciences program at Kansas State University, with plans to graduate in May 2026. I am very skilled in problem-solving, have leadership qualities, and am very punctual and responsible. I am very passionate about animals and want to learn everything I can about them! I am looking to start gaining hands-on experience in the field and learn as much as possible about all animals.
