My name is Emily or Emi, I am 19 years old, and I am from Bolivia, South America. I have been living in Kamloops, BC, since September 2024 and am fluent in both Spanish and English. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree at Thompson Rivers University (TRU) and working part-time as a waitress at a Mexican restaurant in downtown. Additionally, I have gained valuable experience through previous roles at Vinopolis Seafood Restaurant and Burgerhaus, where I developed strong organizational and multitasking skills. While my professional background is in hospitality, I have a deep love for animals. Back home, I cared for my dog and hamster, and now, living with a homestay family with two dogs, I am well-accustomed to interacting with and caring for pets daily. I am a very kind and independent person who learns quickly. In my free time, I enjoy dancing ballet and contemporary dance, and I aspire to become a doctor. My experiences have taught me patience, attentiveness, and a natural ability to connect with animals, which I am eager to bring to a role in pet care.
