Summary

I have always been a waitress, but i have always wanted to work in the veterinary field. So i started school to get my associates degree in veterinary technician. I have always loved animals and i am also very great with people. I love working with people, helping them get the best of their stay at a restaurant. I am always willing to help out my other employees, help with anything that a customer might need. I am very nice but I can be shy when i first start a new job until I am comfortable.

I am a great and fast learner, I love to learn as much as i can. I have three dogs of my own and they are like my children. I used to have a pet sitting business as well, but had to move so i had to stop it. I have always known that i wanted to have animals be apart of my life.
