Professional Summary

Reliable and punctual Animal Care team member

I have spent most of my time working in the customer service/food service industry. For the past 7 years I've been working as a kennel tech/pet care specialist.

I am confidant at being able to manage a small team to keep the day to day operations running. Making sure everything is stocked and clean, that everything runs in a timely manner, and that things are done correctly to the customers satisfaction. I enjoy being behind the scenes, making sure all my team members have what they need, and helping out when needed. Highly organized and hardworking with good communication and multitasking abilities with proven skills cleaning animal areas, coordinating inventory and managing animal needs with care and compassion.

Working with animals will always be a pleasure, and I hope to use the skills that I've learned to do a great job.
