Cameron
Level 3 Animal Management
Cameron chose to study at North Lindsey College after leaving The Axholme Academy. He was particularly impressed by the College’s Animal Care Unit, which offers a hands-on experience with a wide variety of species—an opportunity that really stood out to him.
Although he had always been interested in animals, Cameron had limited practical experience before attending North Lindsey College. His studies there played a key role in confirming his passion for working in the animal care sector.
Following his time at college, Cameron went on to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Zoology with Animal Management at Bangor University.
Cameron now aspires to become an aquarist, with the long-term goal of one day becoming an aquarium curator.
