I have a Certificate 2 in Animal Studies (completed 2013/2014) and the Certificate 4 in Veterinary Nursing (completed 2015).
What are some of the things you love about the veterinary industry?
My love for animals, and the rewarding experience I feel after helping animals in need! It’s not really work when you love what you’re doing!
MVG is a great place to work because…
I love the staff that I work with at MVG, coming into work is like walking into my second home. I love working in a workplace where everyone has the same love for their job as I do.
