Brodie Neilson

I have always been passionate about making a difference every day, so I decided to join the wonderful Greencross Vets Caloundra team in 2021 through their Internship program to enhance the lives of all our patients and clients.

With Greencross’ ongoing support, I have completed my Cert II in Animal Care & Cert IV in Veterinary Nursing as well as further Emergency and Critical Care studies.
