Summary

I am an extremely hard working and honest individual. I absolutely adore animals, and their happiness, care and wellbeing is my main focus. I loved my previous job working with dogs and this makes me eager to pursue this passion as my career. I am bright and willing to learn and take on new challenges. I am a committed individual seeking more life/work experience in a job role I love, and one which I can grow and work hard in.
