What I'm looking for

I'm seeking animal husbandry, conservation, education, or zoological care roles where I can apply my veterinary, biological, animal-handling, and diagnostic laboratory experience.

At IDEXX, I perform laboratory analysis of biological specimens, process samples across species, and maintain accurate diagnostic documentation.

I've supported small-animal care at Pet Menders Animal Hospital and Caring Hands Veterinary Hospital, assisting with examinations, procedures, patient monitoring, restraint, histories, and treatment records.

My experience also includes veterinary radiology support, diagnostic ultrasound restraint, staff training, client communication, and maintaining calm, safety-focused clinical environments.

With a Biology degree and hands-on animal-care experience at Camp Bow Wow, I'm seeking to apply my veterinary and biological background in animal husbandry, conservation, education, or zoological care.
