Summary

I’m an experienced veterinary nurse with 9 years of experience. In the past, I have worked with animals for lot longer, taking me to different paths such as working for animal protection societies, zoos and aquariums. I have a strong interest in exotics and wildlife. I would love to expand my knowledge and work in this field. My strengths are being good at working in fast paced environments and strong at multitasking. I consider myself a quick practical learner.
