years of professional experience
I was raised in a family run vet office and i grew up learning about animal husbandry and proper veterinarian management. I am a quick learner and I enjoy learning new things. I went on after highschool to become a trail guide and hunting guide at a local pack station in the eastern sierras during pack season and have done construction trades in the off season to supplement my income. I have learned to communicate and use customer service via working at the packstation and dealing with a wide variety of the general public.
