What I'm looking for

I'm eager to gain experience in marine conservation and animal biology that complements my academic learning.

At PetSmart, I cared for live fish, reptiles, birds, and small animals by cleaning enclosures and feeding animals according to their needs and schedules. I also bagged live fish and crickets for customers.

I'm studying marine biology at California State University - Long Beach after completing an Associate Degree (ADT) at Cypress College. I'm interested in marine conservation and animal biology, and I’m eager to gain experience that complements my academic learning.

In my work at Center for Autism and Related Disorders, I used ABA therapy to help children learn new behaviors and reduce challenging behaviors. I created learning opportunities, collected session data, and followed safety notes and behavior plans.
