What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values cleanliness and animal welfare, offering opportunities for growth.

I am a motivated and reliable individual with a strong background in maintaining high standards of cleanliness and hygiene through hands-on work in animal care. My experience has equipped me with practical skills in husbandry, welfare, and cleaning routines, allowing me to provide clean, comfortable, and safe environments for animals.

Throughout my career, I have developed a keen attention to detail, consistently ensuring that enclosures are clean and that I closely observe hygiene and animal health. I thrive in collaborative environments, having worked effectively during fieldwork and while cleaning animal centers. My organizational skills enable me to manage multiple projects efficiently, balancing academic assessments with my cleaning responsibilities.
