Which pets have left paw prints on your heart?
Charlie – our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel growing up. He is the reason I became a Veterinary Nurse. He was such a gentle soul, a real family dog, who unfortunately passed too soon at the young age of 5yrs old, due to severe CHF. I always wanted to do the best by him growing up and so veterinary nursing was perfect for me.
Why did you become a vet nurse and what do you enjoy most about your job?
I have always loved animals, ever since before I could remember. Parents have pictures of me dragging around the cat not long after I learnt to walk, was just a natural progression for me. I never considered alternate career options, I was always set to be a vet nurse. I didn’t become a vet for I hate making decisions =)
How do you relax when you’re not at work?
I have a 12 month old at home with number two on the way, though to some this may not be relaxing, I just love my little one and look forward to number two joining our crazy little family.
Share something weird or wonderful about yourself.
I am an absolute perfectionist, annoyingly at times. Wherever I am, I like things to be spotless and where they should be. Husband loves to tease me about our home looking
