Summary

As a dedicated final-year Animal Science student at the University of New England, with a major in Animal Bioscience and a minor in Genetics, I am seeking opportunities to apply my academic background and hands-on experience in an animal-focused environment. Having spent the past three years living on campus and immersing myself in both theoretical and practical aspects of animal science, I am now relocating to Orange to complete my studies and am eager to contribute my skills, knowledge, and passion for animal welfare to a dynamic and growth-oriented organisation. Brings strong problem-solving skills and proactive approach to new tasks. Known for adaptability, creativity, and not afraid to ask questions. Once I complete my Animal Science degree, I’m keen to pursue a Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing to build on my experience and gain formal clinical qualifications.
