Summary
I want to continue my education and experience in the animal care field. I am a hard-working, eager-to-learn person having worked in multiple industries - from customer service, to software development and debugging, to owning and managing a family restaurant. I have always been highly interested in zoology and working with animals, I would love to continue and learn more about the field while training and aiding others.
