Veronika Snicer

Veronika grew up in small town in the Czech Republic and ever since she can remember she was fascinated by nature and animals. Her love for adventure, languages and travelling lead her to studying Bachelor of Travel Industry Management at Silesian University in Opava. A year after her graduation she decided to move to Australia. Her passion for animal welfare continued to grow so she decided to pursue her childhood dream by making a difference in the lives of those who can’t speak out for themselves. After a couple of years “down under” she joined Greencross Vets Ku-Ring-Gai as a student and after completing her Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing she became a permanent part of the team. Veronika enjoys all aspects of nursing and recently found joy in helping nursing students to achieve their goals. In her free time you will find her sipping a flat white at one of the beautiful Central Coast beaches with her Havanese puppy Bailey.
