As a current student enrolling in the pre-veterinary studies, I will like to expand my experience in this field to pursue my career goal, which is being a veterinary of wildlife animals. On the past year, I had the amazing experience of an internship for being a veterinary assistant by cleaning kennels, running blood tests and fecal tests, stacking animals’ food and medicaments, and preparing the examination room. Being a passionate student, I don’t want this experience to be the only one, and participating in this project would bring me the opportunity to experience a close up of what I want to do as a living.
Not only am I excited to help these animals, but also to learn and understand one of the most amazing cultures that is not my own. This project will give me variety in knowledge and wisdom for my future career, improving my analytical skills, communication skills, and it will adapt me to handle different situations in environments that I am not used to.
