Summary

As a sophomore on a pre-veterinary track, I am eager to gain hands-on experience that will enhance my skills and set me apart as I prepare to apply for veterinary school in 2026. My previous internships at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s K-9 Facility in Front Royal, VA, and SVVS Pets in Lebanon, VA, have strengthened my ability to work with animals in diverse environments, and I am eager to continue expanding my knowledge under your team’s guidance.

I take pride in being a self-motivated and reliable team player with a strong growth mindset. Whether assisting with animal care, observing procedures, or supporting a veterinary team, I am always eager to learn and contribute. My experience working with service animals and companion pets has reinforced my adaptability and attention to detail—both of which are essential in a clinical setting.
