Summary

My background consists of multiple different experiences. Most prominently around the animal care sector. With also added employment within that of the retail industry. Throughout my life, I have been involved in a number of charitable organisations such as the St Vincent De Paul, Knights of St Columbanus and an expedition to Borneo in 2018. Where i took part in conservation efforts and sustainable projects such as beach clean - ups, reforestation and interactions with wildlife. Here i gained extremely beneficial and valuable experience through means of travel, ecology and developed a strong work ethic. I am considered an instinctive individual, with good motivation to care for animals whilst also being cautious and considerate with different levels of animal care. I am an accomplished student, pursuing a possible care in Zoology and the Animal care sector who is eager to apply knowledge and gain practical experience. I am experienced working in team environments and individual work. I have a reputation for hard work, punctuality and a strong work ethic.
