Summary

After a lifetime's work in Veterinary Practice, I am now happily retired from veterinary work and enjoying a more slower paced life on the farm.

With more spare time on my hands, I am interested in some part time work and feel this casual position as a courier for 4Cyte would be something I could easily fit into my schedule. I would be extremely flexible regarding workdays, have a full, heavy vehicle driver's licence and have worked with laboratory samples in my role as a veterinary practitioner for over forty years.
