Having always grown up surrounded by animals, the pure love for them was there from the beginning. I then fuelled that love into education by studying A Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management at the Berkshire College of Agriculture. BCA consisted of an Exotics house, Small mammals and kennels, Farm livestock, Zoo and British wildlife which allowed me to work alongside a range of different animals. During this course I learnt about mixture of units including: Breeding and Genetics, Animal biology, Animal health and diseases, Animal Behaviour, Animal Welfare and Ethics, Advanced Animal Nutrition, Industry Placement, Exotic Animal Husbandry, Ecology and Conservation. I was able to perfect many skills including: - Practical handling skills - Observation and monitoring - Compassion and empathy - Adaptability - Animal care and welfare knowledge
