I began nursing in a mixed practice in a country clinic in NSW where I completed my Cert IV Veterinary Nursing. After five years I moved to Brisbane for a specialised nursing role which included surgery, oncology, intensive care and anaesthesia. After four great years, I headed to Singapore to gain international experience, then returned to Melbourne, Australia to work in a specialist hospital and from there I moved to Perth. There I completed a veterinary traineeship in anaesthesia and analgesia at Murdoch University where I remained working as an anaesthesia technician until December 2022. In 2018 I also gained my Graduate Certificate in Tertiary and Adult Education and am now completing my Masters in Education through research at Murdoch University. I deliver anaesthesia workshops, lectures, and clinical training to graduated nurses through my new venture ‘Atomic Anaesthesia’ and remain extremely committed to increasing the quality of continuing education for Australian veterinary nurses and technicians. In 2023 I moved to London with my husband and daughter and began working in a progressive small animal first opinion practice. I have a Rhodesian Ridgeback called Roger and a rescue cat called Maple, who both made the big trip from Australia!
