YASMIN WHELAN

Graduated with a Bachelor of Wildlife Science and seeking

full-time or part-time work in the industries of wildlife, environmental and animal sciences. Four years of hospitality work has provided me with the ability to work efficiently as part of a team in a fast-paced environment while under pressure. Various volunteering roles have provided me with hands on skills and some industry knowledge with native Australian wildlife. I am very excited to start my career and if the opportunity arises, I would be thrilled to join your team.
