Summary

I am a third-year Biology major minoring in environmental science at Dalhousie University with an interest in veterinary science and environmental conservation research. I have a strong academic record, and have experience working outdoors as well as with animals. I am an eager and energetic person, who takes a mature and positive approach to any provided task. After time spent participating in the community, I am extremely eager for an opportunity to turn my attention to my field. My undergrad experience thus far has allowed me to develop strong interpersonal and communication skills, as well as how to deliver quality work on time.
