About
I have ten years of experience as a mixed animal veterinary clinician, including onboarding new staff, treatment planning and client relations. As a naturally enthusiastic person, I get a genuine kick out of connecting with people to collaborate on course details or teach new skills. Having worked in rural and urban areas, as well as internationally, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how animals positively affect human wellbeing and how we can positively influence their lives and create harmonious lifestyles for all.

What do you enjoy about teaching/your job?
I love creating environments where people have space to think critically and solve problems. I find education is the foundation of building competence within an industry, which then allows students to enter their chosen career with confidence.
