Summary

I have always been intrigued by animals from the day I rode my first pony at Beverly Park and the many trips to the "old" zoo with my father starting when I was five. I have a photograph of being held up to feed the elephant at the old, old zoo location. I have owned dogs, cats and birds and have always cared for them conscientiously. At Pierce College I was able to apply what I learned in my animal science classes to the care of horses, goats and sheep. Following instructions of a large animal veterinarian and anesthesiologist, I assisted in three hours of surgery on a 9 week old goat that had been attacked by coyotes. She survived because I was her nurse for six weeks keeping the wounds free of dirt, encouraging her to eat and drink and driving her to the vet every week to be checked, medications administered and stitches fixed and removed. I can administer sub-cutaneous fluids and have done so with cats and sheep.I am focused, easy to teach, fast to learn and most dependable.
