Lara Owen

Hello! I am a recently graduated undergrad student, and am looking for a job! I am friendly and enthusiastic, and have experience in sales, administration, and working with animals

I have done 2 events with Sisters with Blisters, which included selling various items, such as shirts. I have been volunteering at Woodrock Animal Rescue for 3 hours; I helped at their weekly Puppy Pop Up, as well as other dog adoption days, during which we are expected to “sell” the dogs (in other words, encourage adoption), finding the perfect pet for customers and finding the perfect home for the dogs. We also had to walk and feed the dogs, as well as playing with me and ensuring their utmost comfort and happiness. I have also done various small jobs for the Parkview's Association with Theresa Gibbon, including selling drinks at their annual Halloween event and ensuring the safety of children who played on the jumping castles. I also have experience with children, as I helped at Redhill's kindergarten aftercare for 2 years as part of my Life Orientation volunteer work.

I matriculated from Redhill High School in 2019, and graduated from UCT in 2022, where I was studying a BA Humanities Undergraduate degree, with a major in Psychology and Philosophy
