Key knowledge and tasks

"My core skills are: 
Customer service. 
Excellent phone manner. 
Scientifically literate. 
Report writing skills. 
Computer literate. 
Adapt at critical thinking. 
Public speaking, and able to explain complex idea to the public. 

I have a Bachelor in Biology and Environmental Science and Graduate diploma of Science in Psychology. I have always had a preference for multidisciplinary approaches. 

I started out as a Cattery Assistant at a vet and became the lead receptionist/veterinary assistant, where I participated in surgeries and consultations, as well as all the general maintenance tasks required in a veterinary clinic, including appointment booking, sterilizing equipment, maintaining stock and engaging with the public. 

I left this job when the clinic closed due to the unexpected passing of my employer and took up an administrator job in the Auckland Council Arts, Culture and Events Division, as I wanted to diversify my experience and skills."
