Abigail Lyons
Belgrave Heights,VIC
Summary
I have a positive attitude, and dedication to learning. I have empathy and attentiveness to the needs of animals and children, with ability to handle tasks such as feeding, following tasks and cleaning.
I am the eldest of three children and therefore have teamwork and adaptability to changing tasks and the needs of others. Effective communication and dedication to animal welfare and husbandry.
My family runs a Wildlife Shelter, so I have experience in food handling, preparation of formulas and cleaning enclosures, handling animals and maintaining good hygiene.
I am task driven and can follow tasks and complete jobs efficiently and quickly.
