Summary

My long-term ambition is to become an Assistance Dog Trainer, and I plan to obtain the required experience by taking short courses and volunteering. I'm looking for part-time work in animal care that will give me relevant experience while I study and train.

I have an endless passion for animals that drives and excites me to embark on this career change.
