Since I was a child, I've had a passion for the well-being of animals. I watched Steve and Bindi Irwin obsessively andthrough them learned how to interact with animals - the fascinating and the dangerous. I’ve always been drawn to the animal world, particularly the way they interact with each other and their relationship with humans. Their ability to adapt to changing environments and survive through often dangerous human intervention is inspiring. In more recent years I've taken an interest in exotIc animals. and my long-term goals are to work with exotic animals in a wildlife zoo, and/or sanctuary setting. Eventually, I'd want to have my own clinic working with all different types of animalsI am a hard worker who is skilled at problem-solving and time management. I take initiative and get things done on my own, and I am known for being able to inspire others. I catch on quickly and am continuously learning new skills. I've been playing the trumpet since the 5th grade, and through this experience have gained valuable leadership skills, the ability to work well with large groups and developed a voice for speaking up when its required.
