Resolution Quick Learner Multitasker Dear Hiring Manager, Friday, 12th January 2024

Re: Cover Letter for Veterinary Services Program Coordinator at Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA While my resume might lean more corporate than critter care, don't let that fool you. I'm brimming with passion for animal welfare and the skills to match, making me a pawsitively perfect fit for the Veterinary Services Program Coordinator role at the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA. Remember that childhood dream of saving our fluffy friends? That is still alive and kicking in me. It shows in my variety of experience with testing blood glucose levels in cats, administering insulin shots, weaning baby kittens on bottles, and teaching them how to urinate/defecate in the absence of a mother. This hands-on experience taught me the delicate dance of animal care, especially for those needing extra TLC.

But there's more to me than just fur and whiskers. My professional life has been about wrangling teams, building communities, and making things happen. From building and training teams in the UAE about company processes to program coordination and community building through event production, I have the ability and keen passion for learning to handle whatever this role throws my way. I'm a fast learner (think puppy mastering fetch) and a team player who thrives in collaborative environments. Chameleon software? Piece of cake. Adapting to new situations? My superpower. Building relationships with everyone from vets to volunteers to that grumpy-but-adorable chihuahua in the corner? No problem!

What truly wags my tail about the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA is the open door policy, the commitment to exceptional medical care, and passion for finding forever homes for animals of all shapes and sizes. Your dedication to rescuing and caring for animals mirrors my own desire to make a pawsitive impact on their lives.

So, if you're looking for a passionate, adaptable, and animal-loving coordinator to join your team, look no further! I'm eager to swap spreadsheets for squeaky toys, lab results, and making a real difference at the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA. Let's chat and unleash the amazing things we can do together! Woofingly yours,

Adrien Cohen
