What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining animal care or horticulture with supportive administrative duties in a collaborative, service-oriented workplace where I can grow practical skills and contribute to community wellbeing.

I am a BS in Theatre graduate who has built hands-on experience in veterinary assistance, botanical services, and office administration. I assist veterinarians with feline and canine patients, run plant maintenance and design projects through my self-employed botanicals work, and have managed front-desk and parish administrative duties while supporting Spanish-speaking clients.

I bring a mix of customer service, written communication, and technical competencies—Microsoft Office and Google Docs—coupled with practical skills in plant propagation, garden maintenance, and basic veterinary care. I earned Radford University's Outstanding Student Award and a book-collecting essay prize, demonstrating both academic commitment and strong written communication.
