My desire to work with animals started at a young age, having been born and raised working around animals it was a definite. At the earliest convenience I started participating in more experiences to work with animals. I did my work experience courses at the RSPCA and Vet Clinics. I then went on to volunteer for 6 Months at Greencross Kelso (formally known as Kelso Vet Clinic) and was offered a job in July 2009. I became a Qualified Cert IV. Veterinary Nurse in November 2012. I took on a role as Regional Marketing Manager in 2014. In the early months of 2015 I was offered and accepted a fully funded Scholarship for a Diploma in Nursing. I then stepped up in the lead role as Practice Manager in August 2015. I love both my roles here and can’t see myself doing anything else. I thoroughly enjoy working along all our patients, whether it is routine or an emergency. However neonate care/orphans are my favoured part of the job; I have raised and rehabilitated many species including a 3 week old swimmer puppy, Bear. With this is started up and successfully run our Cat Adoption Program. I have a big interest in herpetology (study of reptiles and amphibians) as well as avian care. At home I have my own Menagerie that all started with my Beautiful Black Great Dane Nyx, along with Achyllies my Harlequin Great Dane, 3 rescue cats Eevee, Dieago and Sven, I have Bearded Dragons Toothless, Spyro and Yamaha, Droid the Alexandrine Parrot and Geronimo a Guinea Pig.

I grew up in Cairns and knew from a young age that I wanted to work with animals. I started this passion by working in a pet shop learning everything I could about animal care. After a few years I then decided I wanted to experience something different and got a job as a mammal keeper at Cairns Tropical Zoo. After a year at the zoo my husband Antony got a job in Townsville so we relocated in January 2005 and I began working for Greencross Vets.
I started out with Greencross by looking after the cats at the Currajong clinic cattery and driving the ambulance between the clinics transferring animals and medications. After a while I then started on reception and worked my way up to then do vet nursing. I started studying my Cert II in Animal Studies and then Cert IV in Veterinary Nursing, completing it in 2008. I was then given the opportunity to become a workplace trainer and studied my Cert IV in Training and Assessment. With this role I took on the training and assessment of our school based trainees and Cert IV nurses throughout the Townsville clinics.

My passion for all animals started at a young age. I was bought up on acreage where I had horses, dogs, cats, birds and of course fish! I always had an interest in animals and found them every fascinating. In 2013, I applied for a school-based traineeship at Greeencross Vets and successfully started my training in 2014 at Greencross Annandale. Since my traineeship concluded I have been working part-time as a vet nurse whilst juggling year 12, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Since working at Greencross I have taken an interest in neonatal care and wildlife rehabilitation. I recently have started rehabilitating orphaned kangaroo’s and wallabies for North Queensland Wildlife Care and also taking care of their 24hr wildlife phone.
In between my busy work and school life, I manage to find time for my little ball of energy Shar Pei X, Maxii, beagle named Mollie, tea-cup Chihuahua named Rylee and a pygmy bearded dragon named Zeus. My passion for animals and providing the best care I can grows larger everyday. I love my work and I can easily say I have the best job in the world.

Growing up in the rural town of Barraba NSW where animals out number people I was surrounded by animals from before I could walk. My favourite place to visit was my grandfathers farm where I could feed the pigs, cows, sheep, horses, ducks, chickens, ferrets and rabbits. I first realised I wanted to work with animals after an unfortunate accident with my dog that followed with several visits to the local vets. I was fascinated with watching the progress of my dogs health. My first job working with animals was at one of the largest RSPCAs in the country in Melbourne. There I was walking dogs, grooming cats and socializing rabbits. I am hoping to study a certificate IV in captive animals once I complete my certificate IV veterinary nursing. I myself have a few pets including Junior a wolfhound, Kelsey a Fox Terrier, Zoe a Kelpie x and 2 Domestic Short Hair Cats : Benny and Socks.
