 I have always been passionate about working with animals. I'm the type of person who always stops by a passing pet and says hello to them. I’m a bubbly and friendly person who’s not afraid of hard work and always ensures that tasks are completed efficiently. I am committed to helping create a safe and welcoming space for pet owners and to help assist customers with any questions they might have about their pets. I have good customer communication skills, and I am well-spoken.  I have studied level 3 Animal management at Brooksby college and achieved: 1st year: Animal biology (pass), Animal welfare and Ethic. 2nd year: MMM overall. I've worked with animals all my life and have had lots of experience working in kennels such as perfect paws in Melton for nearly a year. I have worked in a farm for about a year at gorse hill, helped with cleaning out the animals.
