CAREER OBJECTIVE:
I received my Certification on July 5, 2009 in the Veterinary Assistant
field. I attended Penn Foster Career School, which is accredited by the
Accrediting Commission of the Distance Education and Training Council
(DETC). I completed my courses with a 94% average, trained for 6 months
with Thunderbird Veterinary Hospital, and am very anxious to get started on
my new career. I am a fast learner, determined to be the best that I can.
I am a highly motivated self-starter with the ability to work in a team
environment with little or no supervision. I am organized and efficient
with excellent administrative skills. I also am mature and dependable.

During this time at Wildcare Foundation I worked mainly with the baby
birds, although I also worked with the diversity of wild animals that are
part of this organization. I cleaned and changed cages, fed each animal
the appropriate food for its species, and helped with medical procedures
when possible. One of my proudest moments was when we were able to release
32 Mississippi Kites into the air to fly free again.
