**back after taking a year break to focus on my last year of undergrad!** Hello! My name is Marion, I am 22years old and a recent graduate of the University of San Diego! I’ve had a passion for animals as long as I can remember, which is where my passion to be a veterinarian came from along with my desire to get a PhD in conservation ecology. I am CPR and First Aid certified in cats and dogs! I have worked at an animal hospital for two years while in high school and come with a very good recommendation letter from the old head vet/previous owner of the hospital. I am super comfortable cutting nails, giving baths, most grooming needs and giving any type of medication! I have been told I have a knack for getting animals to trust me, especially when in stressful situations (as was seen during my experience in an animal hospital). I have experience with shy or anxious pets and I understand how for some dogs earning trust takes a while, and I have no problem taking that time. I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, and have never had an unsatisfied costumer! I have a loveable shih tzu named Asha who has completely stolen my whole heart but somehow I still have more love to give! I can be very flexible on time and will work around your schedule! Will respond within the hour between 9am-6pm.
