Kaitlyn Reece

I am a motivated and enthusiastic 18-year-old currently studying Level 1 Animal Care at Broomfield College, while retaking English and to strengthen my academic foundation. As a recent school leaver from Da Vinci Academy, I am actively seeking part-time employment in retail, hospitality, or animal care. I am passionate about helping others, learning new skills, and working collaboratively.

My studies have provided hands-on experience with a range of animals, including reptiles, and have deepened my interest in animal welfare. I am reliable, hardworking, and eager to contribute positively to any team.
