I am 23 year old student at central Bedfordshire college. I am on my second year studying an extended level 3 diploma in Animal Management. During my first year I achieved a distinction grade and completed 150 hours of work experience on a farm with a wide variety of animals such as :

• Dogs
• Rabbits
• Guinea pigs
• Tortoises
• Goats
• Donkeys
• Sheep
• Geese
• Chickens
• Horses
• Hedgehogs
• Sugar gliders

The units covered in my first year were :

• Animal Biology
• Animal Welfare and Ethics
• Practical Animal Husbandry
• Animal Behaviour
• Animal Health and Diseases
• Work experience in the Animal Sector
• Practical estate planning, Construction and maintenance

I am hoping to apply for university to study veterinary nursing so until then I am trying to get as much experience as possible. I have loved animals since I was child and I am so excited to work towards a career where I get to be around them everyday!

Prior to this career change I studied Health and Social Care at West Herts College and went on to work at a care home that specialised in dementia care for 2 years.

Throughout my whole life I have owed cats and Syrian hamsters (keeping them apart was always fun) I got my current dog when I was 14 and she is a Rottweiler. She changed my life for the better and has shown me a different type of love that I never knew existed, she is my best friend and is the reason I have decided to work with animals. In my spare time I like to go to the gym, go on walks (preferably with dogs), spend time outside and go to gigs. I am very keen to start my pet sitting journey and look forward to meeting lots of new furry friends.
