After recognizing the only career she wanted was one that involved working with animals, she commenced as a Junior Veterinary Nurse. Over the next five years she had the opportunity to work with some amazing people on a broad cross section of domestic animals and the occasional native. During this time she also completed Certificates II and III in Veterinary Nursing.
Punctuated by a brief period in the Griffith University Animal Facility, she returned to Veterinary Nursing in a larger Veterinary Hospital on Brisbanes southside. At the hospital she held the position of Senior Veterinary Nurse gaining invaluable experience assisting in a wide variety of operations, exposure to better animal management and customer care and involvement.
While she enjoyed working on a wide variety of domestic animals, her heart and interests was pulled towards the small and furry. Greater care and education for Guinea Pigs is what attracted her to Brisbane Bird and Exotics Veterinary Service.
At a personal level she has a Ridgeback cross named Maddison, and a Guinea Pig named Olive, who think they are human. Brisbane Bird and Exotics allows her to combine personal passion with professional development.
