Very difficult to understand how you can have managed a global student vet organisation when you are neither a vet or a vet student so you would have to be more specific on what your actual role was and what the organisation was. Similarly if you are not a vet student, how were you able to participate in their courses.
If you want these things to be taken seriously you are going to have to give names of courses and the schools etc where they were studied. Similarly who issued your marine animal first aid certificate?
Unless you can give these details it just comes across as too vague. You’d be better talking about your farm and shelter work and backing up your statements with solid examples of what you saw and your sentiments about those experiences.
