Owen Mills

I am kind, honest, punctual, reliable, hardworking, and polite. I have not missed one day of school, college, work or university through illness or absence, as I believe strongly in not letting people down. I am, and always have been passionate about animals, and the environment in which they live in and working with and caring for animals has been a lifelong dream.

I also have good administrative skills from my time in education and through work experience I have good customer service skills. I enjoy meeting new people and collaborating with a team.
