Ex.

My love for animals, long history of raising animals, and rich experience with vets can be quite useful at XXXXX.

Q1. "MY" is in effect for the series so I do not need "a" in front of "long history" and "rich experience," right?

Q2. On another note, can rich experience be treated as uncountable?
for example, a rich experience vs rich experience.

Thanks in advance.

Q2. An experience and experience (uncountable) are different in meaning. One refers to something that happens and the other refers to the knowledge that you have gained.

erm yes history can be definite. A history is an account of events that have happened in the past. I don't think you should be answering qs if you don't know something as basic as that.
