My zoology diploma is hot off the presses, and I'm itching to find my dream job. While attending online courses, I fostered kittens with the local Humane Society for five summers and earned a 500-hour certificate. I'm passionate about advocating for animal welfare, with a special focus on rehabilitating small mammals of the Pacific Northwest.
My strengths include patient animal handling, meticulous record-keeping, and creating enriching environments for recovering wildlife. I'm eager to apply both my formal education and hands-on experience to make a meaningful difference in wildlife conservation.
I bring 5 years of hands-on animal care experience through my role as a Foster Care Specialist with the Humane Society, where I successfully rehabilitated over 50 kittens. Additionally, I completed 500 hours of clinical wildlife rehabilitation work during my degree program, focusing on native small mammals of the Pacific Northwest.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Zoology with a focus on wildlife biology and conservation. My coursework included animal physiology, behavioral ecology, and wildlife management techniques. My education provided me with a strong scientific foundation in animal biology and evidence-based rehabilitation methods that I'm eager to apply in a professional setting.
