Description

Hi everyone,

I'm Annelieke and I'm 21 years old. I've always had a passion for animals, which is why I pursued an education to become a business manager in animal care. It's amazing to work with different kinds of animals and help them stay healthy and happy.

Aside from my career, I love reading. Books are my gateway to new worlds and adventures. I enjoy various genres such as fiction, fantasy, and self-help books. It's simply magical how a book can transport you to a different world.

Outdoor activities are also a significant part of my life. Hiking, cycling, and camping in nature give me a sense of freedom and fulfillment. It's wonderful to take a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life and enjoy the peace and beauty of nature.

Another hobby of mine is horseback riding. Ever since I was young, I've been drawn to these magnificent animals. The feeling of a strong bond and cooperation with a horse is indescribable. Riding also gives me a sense of freedom and confidence.

My education has taught me a lot about animal care and running a business. I'm determined to use my knowledge and skills to help animals and ensure their well-being. During my education, I focused on animal training, and I find it beautiful to witness the progress in the learning process. It brings me a lot of satisfaction. I also have done 2 internships in Sweden. One focused on training huskies for the tours and the other was about horses and taking guests on tours of horseback riding.

In the future, I hope to build a career where I can combine my passions: working with animals, enjoying outdoor activities, and continuing to develop myself through reading and learning.
