I worked as a zookeeper in the Singapore Zoo in the herpetology section.

Here is a list of things I have done:

• Assisted with the development of new exhibits or renovations by providing input on species-specific requirements and optimal exhibit design features.
• Worked closely with curatorial staff to ensure accurate recordkeeping of daily activities including feeding, cleaning, and medical treatments.
• Improved animal welfare by implementing enrichment programs and providing specialized diets for various species.
• Minimized stress on animals during routine husbandry tasks by employing low-stress handling techniques based on each species'' unique characteristics.
• Contributed to breeding programs aimed at preserving endangered species, supporting genetic diversity.

I trained new recruits coming into the Army.

Here are some of the things I did:

• Promoted safety awareness within the platoon, significantly reducing accidents during training exercises and deployments.
• Trained new enlisted recruits to be combat-ready.
• Improved soldier morale with regular mentoring sessions, focusing on personal development and career progression.
