My dream job - Michelle Bite

My name is Michelle and I joined the Stapeley team as as Wildlife Assistant four months ago...I am totally in my dream job!! 

I always knew I wanted to work with animals and as soon as I was old enough I was volunteering at my local veterinary surgery and zoo.....to gain as much experience as possible and ultimately to identify my preferences. 

This led me to an Animal Science degree during which I worked with wildlife in South Africa as a volunteer.  It as during this time that my mind was made up....I had decided to devote my life to working with animals, my goal was ultimately to work with wildlife. 

My first animal job was at Battersea dogs and Cats Home, during which I volunteered on several wildlife conservation projects worldwide. To progress I took the opportunity to work as a Seasonal Wildlife Assistant at Stapeley which enabled me to gain essential knowledge and experience to prepare me for a permanent position role.  All my hard work and  determination had finally paid off when I was offered a permanent job, I had finally made it!

                                    

I am so looking forward to taking up this blog over the coming months and years; with more excitement going on than any TV soap or X Factor programme I could not possibly keep it all to myself !!
