Summary

Employers have described me as dependable, versatile and a motivated hard worker with a great work ethic. I have taken on every job with a good mindset, and have loved learning various skills on the job. I know how to take initiative and take everything I face with a good attitude to learn from.
I graduated with my Bachelor of Animal Science degree in May 2024. There were many challenges I have faced during my three years at University, which I have confronted head-on and come out with more knowledge, such as learning from my mistakes/failures.
