About

I am a hardworking, caring, and enthusiastic individual with a strong passion for animal welfare and behaviour. I have practical experience working with animals through my time at Glenbrittle Kennels, where I developed skills in animal handling, feeding, cleaning, and monitoring animal wellbeing. Alongside this, I have gained valuable customer service, teamwork, and organisational skills through experience in retail environments.

I am eager to continue developing my practical knowledge and professional experience through a Small Animal Internship and hope to build a long-term career focused on animal care and welfare.
