Background

About Sasha Weaver

I am a high performing individual with extensive experience in both the animal care and the hospitality sector, having worked in both equine and farm environments alongside front of house and waiting positions. I am at ease with dealing with animals’ general care requirements as well as attending to a variety of medical needs and has exemplary communication skills when working in a team. I always works with professionalism and pride myself on my adaptability and initiative when faced with demanding situations, both within and outside the context of animal care. In terms of my key skills, resilience is one of my greatest attributes – I show perseverance in emotionally challenging situations such as the handling of injured animals; remain calm and focused under pressure in such circumstances; and consistently demonstrates a strong work ethic throughout long shifts in adverse conditions. I also display good problem solving skills – I am a logical and thoughtful problem solver; I takes an evidence-based approach combined with insights gained from experience and training; and I am able to bring planning and organising skills to ensure forward progress in both the task at hand and overall business objectives. Leadership and teamwork are also key skills of mine – I demonstrate organisational leadership experience including leading other staff members; an ability to work as an effective team member; and act as a role model by setting tone, style and expectations clearly and by promoting inclusivity.
