Sociable skilled at operating in fast-paced environments with demanding objectives for sales, service and quality. Enthusiastic team player successful at multitasking and delivering friendly, prompt service. I have grown up around animals all my life. Learning how to care, respect and love all animals. My first job was working at a dog daycare and boarding facility, I also volunteered for a dog training facility. A close family friend of mine owns her own grooming business in which she let me help out and she taught me many things about grooming. I am currently going to school to become a veterinary nurse. I also am currently living on a small farm that includes all types of animal care from horses to sugar gliders. Caring for animals is a huge passion of mine and I hope to pursue a career working with them.
