Summary

I am 16 years old currently attending Odyssey Online Learning as a senior. I am graduating highschool one year early and will receive my diploma on June 3, 2025. I have developed strong communication and problem-solving skills in a customer-focused environment, demonstrating ability to handle diverse inquiries and resolve issues efficiently. Before my first job at Target, I was volunteering at Integrity Animal Health group working alongside my sister who is an LVT, I was taught how to run lab samples, perform animal restraint, and I assisted in preparing for appointments. I am aspiring to become a veterinary assistant seeking to transition into a new field where these transferrable skills can be effectively utilized.
