About

I am a fluently bilingual high school student with several years of volunteer experience working with animals in shelters, wildlife rehabilitation facilities, farms, and veterinary environments. I am experienced in animal handling, feeding, enclosure cleaning, sanitation, and supporting animal well-being while maintaining high standards of care. I am very reliable, hardworking, and able to work effectively both independently and as part of a team in fast-paced environments.

As the child of diplomats, I have had the opportunity to live internationally, which has strengthened my adaptability, communication skills, and ability to connect with people from diverse backgrounds. I am very passionate about animal welfare, I am committed to providing care to animals and making a positive contribution to organizations and communities.
