Summary

I started an early career in veterinarian medicine as a kennel technician and worked my way up to vet technician status. I took pride in taking care of patients, maintaining healthy relationships between coworkers and clients within the clinic, and successfully completing the task at hand. My passion for medicine and love of animals allowed me to excel in my position. In May of 2018 I decided to enlist in the US Army to follow a childhood dream to be the first female in my family to be a service member. I enlisted under a 35mike position, Interrogations and Source Operations. I attended Basic Combat Training where I learned basic military skills to include shooting rifles and machine guns, extreme physical fitness training, basic respect for leadership, teamwork, punctuality, and taking shift watches to guard various access points. I then attended advanced training in Arizona where I was trained in interrogating enemy prisoners, collecting pertinent information, becoming effective in report writing, managing confidential files, working in high-pressure situations, and identifying potential threats. I then studied Russian at the Defense Language Institute where I focused on learning the Russian language to the best of my ability, became familiar with cultural differences, and how to obtain healthy relationships with a cultural barrier. I was honorably discharged from active duty orders October2021, and am currently serving in the National Guard. I believe I would make a great asset to your company because I am career driven and an excellent team player. I take pride in successfully and effectively completing tasks, and ensuring the health and wellbeing of myself and others. Thank you for your time.
