Summary
Formerly an assistant landscaper/labourer, I am seeking a career transition into Animal Care. Currently, I am halfway through my Certificate II in Animal Care and plan to pursue a Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing upon completion. Although I lack direct job experience in the Animal Care industry, I am confident that my previous work experience will be somewhat applicable.
