MEET THE NURSES

I have been working at Casey and Cranbourne Vets since August 2015.

I grew up on a 10 acre property so I have had the greatest opportunity to own a wide range of different animals over the years including sheep, goats, cows, ponies, chickens, rabbits, guinea pigs.

Now in suburbia I have my two Labradors ‘Max’ and ‘Duke’ and my two Ginger Tabby’s ‘Hunter’ and ‘Magic’.

I enjoy Boxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Taekwondo with the latter I am a black belt.

I also love to read and spend time with family and friends in my spare time.

After realising becoming a vet would involve far too much maths, I completed my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing, became a qualified microchip implanter, and recently graduated from Certificate IV in Training and Assessment. I’ve since set my sights on Australian natives and am currently studying Wildlife Husbandry and Rehabilitation through Victoria University, as well as volunteering for Wildlife Victoria.

I’ve worked at Casey and Cranbourne Veterinary Hospital since 2008 and run our ‘Slim Fit’ Obesity Program. One of my greatest joys is hand-raising and fostering orphaned kittens, which has earned me the title of ‘crazy cat lady’.

I have three cats and two dogs who live with my parents, and another cat who lives with my partner and me. I soon hope to acquire my Diploma in Emergency and Critical care nursing and to specialise in Australian wildlife.
