Summary
As a dedicated college student majoring in Animal Science at an Ivy League institution (CALS), my ultimate goal is to become a veterinarian, driven by my deep love for animals and a strong desire to contribute to their well-being. As an independent college sophomore now navigating the challenges of both life and studies, I am eager to bring my strong work ethic, adaptability, and passion for helping others in any working environment! My experience in managing academic responsibilities, while actively participating in extracurricular activities has shaped my time management and organizational skills, making me a reliable and efficient team member.
