Strabane,County Tyrone

Summary

Motivated first year student Veterinary Nurse at Ulster University with a very strong interest in animal health and welfare and a keen interest in guinea pigs. Would love to have the opportunity to use skills in a clinical setting and eager to apply knowledge and learn even more throughout placement.

I have become an approved commenter on a strict professional veterinarian Facebook page as a Guinea Pig Expert to aid those who have questions about their guinea pigs ranging from husbandry to symptoms and behaviours.

I can bring great communication, teamwork and organisational skills to contribute positively to the workplace whilst also gaining valuable practical experience.
