  • Description

    I am motivated to work with organizations to gain hands-on experience with caring for animals and to put my education and animal, welfare and behaviour to use specifically within the caring for dogs, along with building. meaningful connections with different people from different cultures and backgrounds. I also would like to help dogs and cats in pain through the development further development of a breakthrough, a natural therapy my family has invented while our time in the UK. I’m motivated to work for a positive and honourable organization and to use the skills I’ve gained over the years to assist them thrive in anyway I can, for example I am a fair cook & good at think of creatoways to solve problems such as gaining free publicity to help finish off a research trial. I have included a link here to which is to a BBC news feature I secured while working in England.

  • More details about your skills

    I have extensive experience in customer service as well as hospitality, front of house, serving, bartending and also back of house, dishwashing and prep cook. I worked two contracts aboard carnival cruise ship which gave me an opportunity to gain stills in hospitality along with sales as I was stationed in the gift shops with the duty-free items. It also gave me the opportunity to live with amongst people from all sorts of different backgrounds and cultures which I enjoyed learning about. Growing up I had a family dog which I cared for and I have also babysat friends dogs, and I’ve enjoyed caring for other people’s dogs as well, however only as favours not in a professional capacity, as of yet, and I’m eager to gain more experience through volunteering. I have experience with natural therapy through a family invention which my father innovated and has helped hundreds of thousands of people with pain and I’m looking to develope this into a treatment for canines.
    I also have labour experience doing various temp labor, work within construction and moving as well as recycling. I do have creative skills when it comes to music I enjoy karaoke and DJ. I have also worked on film sets, as I grow up and returned to Hollywood North/Vancouver.
