Becoming a Veterinary Nurse (trainee) has fulfilled my life-long desire to work with animals. I grew up surrounded by animals as my family has operated cattle properties for many years and I have lived in rural South Australis for most of my life.
I spent most of my childhood on and around horses, as well as with the endless menagerie of animals that farm life brings and for this, I am very grateful. I have never had a day in my life where I have not had an animal in my care and wouldn’t have it any other way.
I feel very fortunate and proud to be given the opportunity to become a part of the AdelaideVet team. I know working with such a compassionate, highly skilled and motivated team I have the best chance of becoming the best nurse I can be.
I look forward to completing my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing in 2019, with further studies in the Veterinary sector likely to follow under the guidance of the amazing AdelaideVet team.
I started my nursing career in 2011 in a small animal practice. I was fortunate enough to complete a Veterinary Nursing Traineeship where I learned invaluable
nursing techniques.
I started working at AdelaideVet Trinity Gardens in December of 2018 where I looked forward to working in a fast paced, high standard of care
and emergency clinic. With every day I’m learning something new and love how challenging and rewarding this career is.
I live on the Fleurieu Peninsula with my husband and love of my life, American Staffy, Jada. Together we love exploring what the Fleurieu has to offer.
I started my career in 2011 at a busy General Practice Vet clinic in Sydney. Here, I worked my way up from reception to a Senior Nurse. While I was at the practice I completed my Bachelors degree in Animal Science, which included a field project on Flying Foxes.
I moved to wonderful Adelaide in 2019. Although I miss my friends, family and old work family, I am enjoying exploring Adelaide and its surrounds.
I have a keen interest on learning to make sure I can be the best nurse for my patients. Like all our staff, I have always loved animals and felt that my job needed to be based around animals.
Outside of work, I love playing netball or spending time with friends and my cat Ziek.
Always having an interest in animals, I was incredibly fortunate to work out a way to work that into my career. Starting out by completing my Animal studies Certificate II in 2018 and then completing my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing in 2019, I gained employment at AdelaideVet as an Animal Caretaker through my work placement. I am looking forward to beginning my veterinary nursing training in 2020 and furthering my skills to provide the best care possible to all the animals I can.
I have a full house at home with my dog Jagger (a Border Collie X), my own two cats Missy and Esme and I also foster kittens, which keeps me very busy and is what originally got me interested in the animal industry.
I cant wait to get to know you all, whether that be through looking after your cats in our boarding facilities or providing the best nursing care possible in our hospital.
I have been vet nursing since 2013, I had been working in a regional mixed practice with small animals, large animals and wildlife up until September 2019 when I joined the fantastic team at AdelaideVet.
I have been interested in insects and animals since I was a child and have had a range of pets. In the past few years I have started rescuing and rehabilitating birds of prey.
At work, I have an interest in wildlife, emergency and anaesthesia.
In my spare time I love being outdoors. My current animal family includes a Siberian Husky called 'Ember' and my Nankeen Kestrel called ' Jandals' (named by my girlfriend from New Zealand).
Since graduating my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing in 2016 I have been working full time as a Veterinary Nurse in a small animal parctice in Stirling. As of August 2020 I have been given a great opportunity to join the team at AdelaideVet!
I am excited to work in such a progressive and fast paced environment and looking forward to furthering my knowledge in non-routine surgical cases and emergency nursing.
With my famiy originally based in NSW, I was born in the country town of Tamworth. Over the course of my life I have lived in four different states and have found myself happily settled in the Adelaide Hills. I have always been surrounded by an assortment of animals growing up, ranging from dogs, cats bunnies, guinea pigs, native birds, parrots and hand raised sheep. I have also thouroughly enjoyed volunteer work through the Hahndorf Animal Shelter and RSPCA whilst studying.
In my spare time I enjoy strong coffee, hiking through the Adelaide Hills, DJing professionally for events and clubs around Adelaide and spending my summers by the beach!
I am pleased to have become a team member of AdelaideVet in 2019. I began my Veterinary Nursing career in 2008 and shortly later earned my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing and have been gaining experience evr since.
I have always been fascinated by animals and in high school, while learning about veterinary nursing developed a deep respect for the profession. I love being a veterinary nurse especially favouring puppy pre-school, bird care and expanding my knowledge of emergency and critical care.
In my leisure time I am either making memories with family and friends or I am doting on my whippet 'Willa' and my conure 'Ezra'.
I love the possibilities and experiences available to me as an AdelaideVet team member and working alongside such wonderful people.
Ever since I was young, and through out my schooling years, I have been passionate about the animal industry. I have always had my heart set on working with animals and I am thrilled that I achieved my goals by completing my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing in 2021. I cannot wait to continue my education and further grow my skills with such a strong and supportive team here at AdelaideVet.
I have a special interest in animal dentistry, radiography and emergency nursing.
I have two beautiful birds at home, a rainbow lorikeet called Mango and a conure named Pickles. In my down time I love spending quality time with my birds, playing video games as well as creating different aesthetics of artwork.
I am born and bred in Adelaide and received my certificate IV qualification in 2015. I was fortunate enough to be a part of the pilot program of the Hills Nutritional Nurse Consultation course in 2016 and have a passion for nutrition. I also love to run Puppy Preschool classes!
I currently live in the Adelaide Hills with my partner Mark, my son Isaac and our beautiful Labradors Koda and Pippin.
When I am not nursing, I love to experiment in the kitchen, watch movies and spend time with my family.
I began veterinary nursing back in december 2017 when I was offered a traineeship in a small animal practice, allowing me to study at TAFE while learning on the job. Being passionate about animals since a very young age, I have always known that I I have wanted to work with and care for them. I have a special interest in developing my skills in emergency nursing and anaesthesia.
In my spare time I am often found hanging out with my best friend Bonnie (Moodle) or doing pole fitness, painting, surfing and spending time in the sun.
Since a young age I have always been a huge animal lover, which led me to pursue a career in the veterinary industry.
I began my studies in Veterinary Nursing at the beginning of 2020 while working as a dog groomer. Through out my studies I have found that I have a special interest in behaviour, emergency, and critical care nursing and I plan to do further studies in these subjects in the future. I am soon to be graduating and am excited to begin my career as a Veterinary Nurse with AdelaideVet!
I have a Shetland Sheepdog named Coco that gets all of my attention and cuddles when I am not giving them to all of the other animals at work.
I have been drawn to animal care since a very young age, I rescued my first stray animal when I was 8 years old and also nursed my first juvenile bird into adulthood at 11 years old. I have always been surrounded by small animals and couldn't imagine being without my furry friends both at work and at home. I completed by Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing in 2017 and began working at AdelaideVet in 2018.
My house is ruled by my three adopted friends; Lola (Born 2012) is a white and brindle American Staffordshire Cross, Bob (born 2008) is a blue grey domestic long haired cat who owns the house (and also me!) and Indi (born 2013) is my tortoiseshell domestic short haired cat.
I spend a good portion of my recreational time going on play dates with Lola, at the beach or reading. I would eventually love to focus more on the care of native animals alongside domestic animals. I am grateful and happy to be a part of the team at AdelaideVet and I look forward to meeting you and your companion animals.
Originally from Sweden, I moved to Adelaide in 2008 to study a Bachelor of Social Science and Psychological Science. I graduated in 2011 and worked as a Social Worker for a year before deciding to pursue my passion of working with animals.
My husband and I moved to England in 2013 where I studied my BSc in Animal Behaviour and Welfare. During my studies I worked at the RSPCA and Guide dogs for the Blind. I also volunteered at the local dog obedience centre.
After we had our son, we decided to move back to Australia and my husband got a job in Melbourne. I got a job as a Dog Trainer and started doing private consults and puppy classes.
When we had our duaghter in 2019, we decided it was time to move back to Adelaide where my husband is from. I was lucky enough to secure the job of Behaviour Technician at AdelaideVet. I love working with the team and helping the dogs and cats who need behaviour support.
I am a Force Free Accredited Dog Trainer through the Pet Professional Guild Australia. I am committed to providing high quality positive reinforcement training, and always strive to increase my knowledge of Animal Behaviour.
I am a qualified Veterinary Nurse based at our AdelaideVet Prospect Clinic. I love meeting and assisting clients with their fur babies and I have ample opportunity to do this whilst on desk. It is lovely to hear their stories and see them at each return visit.
At home I have 3 dogs, a Border Collie and 2 small aging Poodles, along with 3 rescue turtles, a rescue cockatiel and 2 house cats.
I work with a great team of staff at Prospect and all members show dedication and professionalism to bring a united service to our valued clients.
I have been a Veterinary Nurse since completing my training in 2014. I started working with AdelaideVet in September 2016.
I enjoy working with a lovely, caring team of people. I am passionate about helping people and their animals and will always pride myself to giving the highest level of care to the best of my ability every time. Every day I am learning something new and love how challenging and rewarding this career is.In my spare time, I enjoy the outdoors and spending quality time with my family and friends.
I have always enjoyed being around animals which led me to decide that a career in the Animal Industry is the choice for me.
Before working at AdelaideVet I worked at a dog boarding kennel for 4 years, as well as doing some work at another veterinary clinic.
I have also completed my Certificate II in Animal Studies which I found really interesting.
I live in the Adelaide Hills with my two cats Pippa and Tillie as well as my Australian Shepherd Echo.
I enjoy working at AdelaideVet as it is a great team and I am always learning lots of new things and meeting lots of interesting pets.
I have been nursing at AdelaideVet Goodwood Road since 2007 and I am still excited about every aspect of Veterinary Nursing and find there are always new techniques and skills to be learned.
It’s a pleasure to be working with such a great team, who uphold such a high standard of care for both our patients and their parents.
I share my home with my husband, my teenage daughter and my gorgeous fur kids – Megarea, my once very black kitty who is now very slightly grey and the newest addition is Nox – the loudest cat on the planet!
After working in the dental industry for seven years, I took the opportunity to follow my dream of working with animals and started work at AdelaideVet Stirling at the beginning of 2014.
My experience with dogs goes back a long to my first Siberian Husky and my involvement with competitive dog sledding when I was a teenager.
Currently, my husband and I share our lives with our 2 Siberian Huskies, 2 Golden Retrievers and a French Bulldog.
We actively participate in dog sledding, obedience and conformation shows.
Animals have always been a part of my life whether it be looking after my neighbour's pets at a young age or volunteering at wildlife parks.
I am excited to start my career in the animal industry with AdelaideVet and look forward to gaining valuable knowledge and experience. I am passionate about maximising the welfare and wellbeing of animals of all shapes and sizes irrespective of the species.
I share my home with two rabbits (Thumper and Daisy) and two Havanese (Bowser and Harley).
Having animals in my life has always been important to me, whether it is having a companion to play with or snuggle with. The love that furry creatures bring me is why I want to pursue a career with animals.
I am very thankful AdelaideVet has given me an opportunity to work in my dream industry. I wish to further my career by completing a Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing course in the future.
I joined the AdelaideVet team in 2015 as an Animal Caretaker and I couldn't be happier. I am so grateful for this opportunity and for the amazing team I work with each day.
I am looking forward to completing my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing in the future and furthering my career.
Outside of work I love nothing more than spending time with family and friends and of course my American Staffordshire, Diesel!
When faced with the daunting task of returning to work after full-time parenting, my previous career as a social worker simply wasn’t going to cut it. So after some soul searching I decided to follow a completely new path and join the Veterinary Industry. I’m so glad I did. It is such an honour to be involved in the care of people's cherished companions.
I especially love getting to know each cat that spends time in our boarding facility and think of myself as the concierge of a 5 star hotel. You might even get a postcard from your pet while they’re on holiday with us!
My family includes two animal-loving daughters, an elderly cat and a retired racing greyhound known for getting himself into all sorts of mischief.
In 2012, I decided to pursue my childhood dreams of becoming a Veterinarian. This jump ignited my passion and dedication to the Animal Health Industry. My recent studies have also stimulated an interest in the welfare considerations of both domestic and livestock animal practices.
At home, I have a dog, called Bob who is the love of my life, two cats and a fiance.
I look forward to meeting you, and the gorgeous furry, feathery and scaly friends you bring along!
Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I remember when I was younger I would always make sure my parents had the TV turned on when Harrys Practice would be starting and would sit there intently watching the entire show every week.
This passion has lead me to travel to Ontario Canada and work throughout the winter at a dog sledding kennel. While over there caring for the 300+ dogs of the kennel and taking them out for daily sled runs it became cemented to me that working with animals is what I needed for my career.
After coming back to Australia I began studying my Certificate III in Companion Animal Services at Tafe SA. This then led onto being accepted into the Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing.
As part of the Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing I was required to apply at veterinary practices around Adelaide in order to complete placement. Luckily enough I was offered the opportunity to come to AdelaideVet Trinity Gardens for this placement. After my placement had finished I knew that working in an emergency hospital was truly for me and I didn’t want to leave so I applied for the job as Animal Caretaker to ensure I would continue working and learning with all the wonderful staff at the hospital.
Outside of work and studying I enjoy playing basketball, bike riding, hiking, travelling and spending time at home with my two Chihuahuas Ruby and Major, my Domestic Short Hair Sonic and Rex Rabbit Jax.
Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember so a career in the animal industry made perfect sense to me. Over the years I had the blessing of living with pets from boisterous dogs with incredible individuality, rabbits, guinea pigs and even chickens. A life without animals is definitely not the life for me.
Adelaide Vet is not only a fantastic team of people who make work feel like home, but they encourage learning in all areas and fields. Thanks to them, I now have the opportunity to not only work every day in a field that I am passionate about, but I simultaneously get to increase my knowledge and practical experience whilst studying.
Following completion of the veterinary nursing certification, I hope to turn my focus towards the field of animal behavioural science as this is what most interests me and where I feel and hope I can make the most difference in the lives of animals.
I started working at Adelaide Vet Prospect as an Animal Caretaker in June 2016.
My mum is a vet nurse and for as long as I can remember I would come into her work on the weekends and help look after the cats in cat boarding. So it's the perfect first job for me. I enjoy getting to know all the cats that come into boarding and I love the feeling when I first walk into the room and all the cats are happy to see me.I have two dogs called Chilli and BJ and two cats called Camo and Scout. I have an interest in media, visual arts and playing AFL.
I have always been passionate about animals and their welfare, so it was a dream come true when I began studying to become a Veterinarian after finishing high school.
At home, I own dogs, cats, rabbits and a bird which I love to care for and I'm very excited to be working at AdelaideVet so I can further develop my skills and knowledge on their care and well-being.
I am looking forward to meeting you all and giving your best friends a 5 star holiday experience!!
I joined the AdelaideVet team in August 2019 as an Animal Caretaker, I am very appreciative and grateful to workig amongst such a supportive team.
I grew up around animals (cats, dogs and racehorses) from a very yound age and in 2015 I started working in the animal industry in Perth.
My family includes one loving son, two off the track standardbreds (Shadow and Kenny), and a domestic short hair named Kitty.
I am looking forward to completing my certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing amongst such a helpful and knowledgable team and to also meet our lovely clients.
From a young age I have always been passionate about animals and always dreamed of working with them.

In 2020 I made the decision to relocate from teh Eyre Peninsula to Adelaide. It was a hard decision to make as I was really close to the team I worked with and they taught me so much, but I am so glad I did! I unwittingly chose a difficult time to move as it was just when COVID-19 hit, but after getting my current job as Animal Caretaker at AdelaideVet I have loved every minute of it. Everyone is so lovely and I am looking forward to starting my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing.
In 2020 I started working at AdelaideVet as an Animal Caretaker after completing my Certificate III in Companion Animal Services. I am very fortunate to work with such a supportive and caring team.
I have had a passion for animals for as long as I can remember. Working in the animal industry, where I am expanding my knowledge about such a vast range of different animals, is a dream come true.
I am most grateful for the opportunity to look after the injured and sick Australian wildlife that come into the practice, it gives me a really valuable appreciation for our native animals.
I would like to further my education by studying my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing or Certificate IV in Companion Animal Services in the near future.
In my free time I spend time with my family and friends, or with my mischievous but beautiful Keeshond Luna, and my sister's extra cuddly RSPCA rescue, Staffy x Ridgeback, Kobi.
In 2021 I started my new journey as an Animal Caretaker with AdelaideVet, and decided to focus on my passion for animals. There is definitely a big jump from singing confidently on stage in front of an audience, to starting a new career path in the veterinary industry!
I am grateful to be part of an amazing and supportive team, who cherish and care for animals while working so well together every day.
In the near future, I look forward to taking the next step and studying for my Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing.
I've always been the child of the family that has been nothing but obsessed with animals. I have grown up with multiple rabbits, birds, cats and dogs through out my years and they have been my whole whole world.

I have a passion and interest in all animals and at home I have a dog, two cats, a bird, a rabbit and a snake!
Originally from the UK, I have always loved animals, especially dogs. I grew up with several family dogs, big and small.
For 8 years I travelled all over the world, performing on cruiseships and along the way I met my Australian husband. I have been in Adelaide now since 2014, but when I migrated I decided it was time to pursue a career in the animal industry.
I previously worked at Dogcity Daycare for three years, gaining hands on experience about the doggy daycare industry. I then went on to work at the Animal Welfare League, where I developed a higher proficiency dealing with high risk animals. Working at the AWL exposed me to the more complex areas of the animal industry, from helping abused, abandoned or sick animals, to implementing behavioural strategies in the aggressive dog pens, and through this I became very interested in dog behaviour. I worked closely with the AWL behaviour team and honed in on my skills working with dogs that exhibited aggression and behavioural issues.
After the AWL I worked at Beau's Pet Hotel as a Team Leader / Animal Attendant, where I gained leadership experience. I also completed a Guide Dogs leadership course through the Adelaide University.
I joined the AdelaideVet team in the very early stages of development of the daycare centre and have been so gratefu l to witness it's speedy eolution into a bustling hub for domestic dogs.
As the Doggy Daycare Coordinator I am responsible for showing my team how to navigate the dynamic context of canine social behaviour.
At home I have Ernie, who is a rescue Maltese, he is a regular at Doggy Daycare and you may have seen his face on our socials many times as he loves to pose!
After moving back home to Adelaide from life in the big Melbourne city, I am very happy to be a part of the AdelaideVet Doggy Daycare team.
After working in various clerical roles through out my 20's, I went back to college to complete an animal studies certificate and live out my dream to work with animals. I gained experience working with a variety of animals in both daycare and veterinary environments, as well as volunteering with animal welfare organisations.
I am the proud owner of a bengal cat who I adopted out of foster.
Working with animals has been the greatest achievement of my life and it's great to work with an extraordinary team at AdelaideVet.
I have been with AdelaideVet Doggy Daycare since it's inception back in August 2020. I relocated from the Gold Coast due to a work opportunity for my partner Di, who is leading on the development of the new Lot Fourteen precinct in Adelaide.
I have always been passionate about animals and the environment and have volunteered for a range of organisations. I decided on a career change and after completing a Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing. I combined my previous experience into working as a wildlife/education ranger at David Fleays wildlife park on the Gold Coast for over two years.
I have a degree in Sports Management and previously worked in the sports management, community and education arena both in Queensland and in the UK, most recently with the Australian Institute of Sport and Cricket Australia.
I am a keen triathlete and have competed for Australia in many international events, both olympic and iron man distances.
I moved to Australia when I was 17 and shortly after started my career as a flight attendant with QANTAS, where I stayed for 6 years, however, having my own two dogs (which is now three) I had a passion for training and took the leap to start a career in dog behaviour.
I have a background working with dog training from puppy preschool right through to level four and behavioural classes.
I have 3 dogs and 2 cats, a Border Collie called Cooper, a Golden Retriever called Bear and an Italian Greyhound called Winnie. You will regularly see all three dogs at daycare helping with assessments and making friends with your playful pups.
I also work at an axe throwing venue here in Adelaide, in my spare time teaching people how to throw axes at targets and competing in tournaments.
I come from a background of dog training and running Puppy School classes. I have a Certificate II in Animal Studies and come to AdelaideVet with previous doggy daycare experience.
I have two golden retrievers of my own and am always finding new and exciting ways to enrich their lives both mentally and physically. They also attend daycare and you may see them around helping out with assessments and playing with your pups!
I grew up in the Adelaide Hills, on a property in Birdwood. My family has always had pets such as dogs, birds, ponies and sheep. I love all animals but from as early as I can remember dogs stole my heart overall.
I currently have two cats and am in the process of getting a Cocker Spaniel.
When Doggy Daycare opened at AdelaideVet Goodwood Road, I was lucky enough to be chosen as part of the new team. While I work here some days, I also work as a dog groomer at Fluff n Stuff Dog Styling. Prior to my current positions I have worked as a dog walker and an attendant at a dog boarding kennel and cattery.
Working with dogs is my passion and I feel extremely lucky not only to have found an industry I love, but to work alongside a great team.
I am currently undergoing studies in my Certificate III in Animal studies at the Australian College of Veterinary Nursing, set to finish at the end of 2021. With a great interest and passion for the behaviour and welfare of dogs, I look forward to continuing my studies in these fields.
In my spare time I like to go for walks, relax on the beach or with my cats, and camping.
I have been living in Australia since 2014, I first came here as a backpacker but quickly fell in love!
I have always loved animals and I've grown up with a vast variety of them around me. I spent some time working with horses, which I absolutely loved but after adopting my special needs dog, my love and interest in Canine Behaviour really began to develop.
I have completed a certificate II in Animal Studies and volunteered for the RSPCA, I also worked for a dog training business where I was able to grow my knowledge in canine behaviour.
I loveto learn and am always studying to further my knowledge.
I grew up and currently live in the Adelaide Hills. I grew up on a small hobby farm, which allowed me to explore my love of animals of all different shapes and sizes.
I have always worked with animals, in one job or another; from working as a Wildlife Keeper with native Australian animals, to working in boarding kennels with people's much loved dogs and cats. These jobs have all given me very different experiences and taught me different things.
Getting my first dog (a working line Border Collie from an active sheep farm) inspired my passion for dog training and getting my second dog (a Belgian Shepherd Malinois) got me into competative dog sports which is what my free time revolves around.
Training and competing with my dogs in a wide avriety of of dog sports from tracking to obedience and even to the more uncommon/unusual sports such as dryland sledding, weight pull and lure coursing, is something that is a full time hobby and ongoing passion of mine.
Training dogs and working with them to help build a fantastic relationship based on mutual trust and respect to help us both achieve anything we set our minds to, is what it is all about!
Zuri is a gorgeous grey and white domestic short-haired cat that came to AdelaideVet as a stray in 2010. It was soon discovered with her physical examination that Zuri was pregnant and had about a month before she was due.
The AdelaideVet team decided to keep Zuri as she had such a lovable nature, and all of her kittens were adopted to new homes through our Cat Adoption program.
Zuri is a funny girl who has taken it very seriously to find where all the sunny spots, comfy chairs and snuggly beds in the hospital are.
She has also figured out who provides her with food and will keep a close eye on them when it’s getting close to meal time!
Be sure to say hello to her when you next visit our Trinity Gardens Hospital!
