About

I am a passionate and driven individual with an ambition to build a career in the animal sciences industry and biosecurity. My experience and interactions with wildlife/animal care and welfare have developed and grown for over a decade with my involvement including: participation in multiple programs with the RSPCA, equestrian, employment at a veterinary hospital, and volunteer work. These diverse activities have greatly contributed to the development of my skills and deepened my enthusiasm for animal care. Additionally, with a strong academic foundation and genuine care and interest for animal science, I am deeply committed to creating a positive impact through conservation, innovation, and research. I have a particular interest in equine care, stemming from my background as an avid horse-rider. Through my years of learning and riding, I gained comprehensive knowledge in the sport as well as the theoretical and technical aspect of horses, which had enabled me to advance.
