Summary

As a highly empathetic and detail-oriented veterinary nurse, I have developed strong expertise in companion animal health, client education, and technical product knowledge. My ability to build relationships with pet owners and professionals has strengthened my communication skills, making me adept at explaining complex information and providing exceptional customer support.

Committed to continuous learning, I completed a Diploma of Nursing while working in the veterinary industry to further develop my healthcare knowledge. This qualification enhanced my skills in client assessment, infection control, workplace safety, communication, and medication administration, all of which contribute to my ability to educate and support customers effectively. Additionally, training in cultural competency and research skills has prepared me to engage with diverse clients and analyse industry trends.

I am currently studying Marketing and Communication, equipping me with skills in sales, branding, market research, and customer engagement—all essential for driving product awareness and business growth. My combined background in veterinary care, healthcare, and marketing positions me as a well-rounded candidate who can provide both technical and commercial support while fostering strong customer relationships.

Passionate about animal welfare and business development, I am eager to leverage my expertise to represent Elanco and drive meaningful growth in the companion animal sector.
