Burksfalls

Summary

I am a highschool student attending Almaguin Highlands Secondary School. Upon graduation in 2026 I plan to attend Guelph University to pursue my dream to become a veterinarian and open a clinic local to Burksfalls and surrounding areas. I love spending time outdoors with all animals as often as I can. I love to ride horses and take my own dog for long walks and beach days in the summer. I take pride in my job as a pet sitter and love every second I get to spend with the 6 dogs and 1 cat I care for. I will be a valued member of your team, as I am punctual, reliable, I learn very quickly and can adapt to any situation once given instructions. I adore animals and would love to join you as an employee of your business.
