KENNEL ASSISTANT
Professional Summary

I know my worth for the amount of work I'm able to do, slack I'm willing to pick up, skills I have, tasks I complete and it is, in fact, a lot. I don't mind doing extreme amounts of work, but it must match the pay. I'm a fast, hands on learner. I retain the details and If I don't know, I'll find out ASAP. I have ADHD so I have extra energy and can multi-task successfully. This is seen as a disability but it has helped me more than hurt me through practicing focus control. I am now able to switch between tasks effortlessly, in a correct manner and finish the job.
