Miriam Aalberts

Miriam’s interest in veterinary work began with a long standing love of animals. After completing her Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing in 2009, she gained experience in clinical care, behaviour and client education. She has taught puppy classes, developed a strong interest in rabbit care and built the organisational skills that now play a key part in the smooth running of the hospital.

Some of Miriam’s most meaningful moments happen during the simplest interactions. She might reassure a worried owner, talk someone through a new diagnosis or share in the excitement of a first puppy visit. Being able to help in those moments is something she values.

She also appreciates the teamwork within the clinic. When the day becomes busy, the staff work together, stay focused and support one another. It is one of the things she admires most about Casey and Cranbourne and a big part of why she enjoys being here.

When she is not at work, Miriam spends most of her time with her family. She likes getting outdoors for a walk and enjoys the chance to slow down after a busy day. She has a soft spot for rabbits and has looked after them for many years.

She keeps life grounded with a simple motto that has stayed with her: “Don’t sweat the small stuff.”
