During my time as an Animal Keeper at the World of Owls sanctuary, I gained hands-on experience in caring for a diverse range of animals, from owls and eagles to farm animals and reptiles. I was responsible for feeding, cleaning, and maintaining the habitats of these animals, ensuring they had a safe and healthy environment. In addition to animal care, I played an active role in engaging with visitors by providing educational talks about the animals, their natural behaviors, and conservation efforts. This helped me refine my communication skills and ability to convey information in an engaging and informative way.
