About
I am passionate about animal welfare and conservation and am always eager to learn and grow. I have substantial knowledge of animal conservation, diets, training, and behaviour. I am a quick learner and am always passionate about sharing what I know with others in fun and engaging ways. I am looking for a position where I can utilise my skills to contribute to a team and have a positive impact.
Experience
- Experience In Zoological Environment (Ponderosa Zoo) - Volunteered at Ponderosa Zoo where I assisted Keepers in maintaining animal habitats and enclosures, helped to deliver talks on animals to visitors, assisted in dietary plans, kept the zoo clean and learned a lot about animal behaviour and conservation efforts. In this role I worked with various animals including Big Cats, Rodents, Small mammals, and insects.
- Experience At Animal Rescue (Lancashire Guinea Pig Rescue) - Volunteered at Lancashire Guinea Pig Rescue where I helped to maintain clean and safe animal enclosures, bonded pairs of Guinea Pigs using training techniques, advised customers on animal husbandry and animal behaviour, and completed health checks. In addition to these duties, I also conducted educational presentations for other volunteers.
- Scare Actor (Scare Kingdom Scream Park) - A seasonal job where I worked in a large team in a fast-paced, physically demanding environment. I also assisted in cleaning attractions, and attended to guests in vulnerable positions.
- Town And Country Veterinary Practice Blackburn - Completed work experience at Veterinary Practice where I maintained a high level of hygiene and organisation, comforted customers, helped to keep animals calm and relaxed, and observed minor surgeries.
Education
Most of my education has come through gaining practical experience and self-motivated research and exploration of topics. I have attained 5 GCSEs grades 5 and above along with A-level qualifications in Photography, Graphic Design and Filmmaking.
