Summary
I am a final year student at the University of Nottingham and am looking to pursue a career in small animal practice. I am enthusiastic, ambitious and very determined, proven by my unusual route into this career without sitting A levels.
Through working in several customer facing roles, I understand the importance of clear communication delivered in an empathetic manner. I have a particular interest in medicine which is something I would like to further persue in my professional development.
