Summary
I aim to work in a profession that supports animal welfare after completing a degree in animal sciences. Although I am quiet, I am a clear communicator with customers and coworkers. I can be counted on to deliver on my job duties and work collaboratively with my coworkers. I have experience in animal care with retail pet products and services. In my current role, I have implemented ways to improve animal care and sales in my department. I enjoy using my animal and product knowledge to help guests find the right products to care for their furry and scaly companions. I am seeking an opportunity to further develop skills and experience in other areas of the animal and pet services field.
