I’m a motivated and compassionate student who genuinely enjoys working with both animals and people. Through my experience in animal care and volunteering, I’ve developed confidence in handling dogs and cats, understanding their behavior, and helping them feel safe and comfortable. I also enjoy working with kids and creating positive, engaging environments. I’m reliable, adaptable, and excited about opportunities to support animal welfare and help educate others.
