Summary

Hello, as a grade 10 student at Georgetown District High School, I'm currently seeking Co-op placement for my upcoming grade 11, 2023 Fall term. I have had a strong passion for animals since early childhood. This passion was ignited through working with Earth Rangers, riding, animal rescues, and having experiences with farm animals. All of these things leading my desire to study equine veterinary medicine. I have been riding Hunter/Jumper competitively since 2013 and have obtained my OE Rider Levels up to level 5, currently working on 6. All of this has given me immense hands-on experiences in the equine field. I'm looking forward to putting my knowledge and experiences to work and in turn gain more if given the opportunity. Thank you for your time in reading my resume and I hope to hear from you soon.
