• I do 100% consultation work, creating reasonable medical management plans, to improve the quality of life for both animal and client. My main goal is to create a long term bond with my clients and patient. I also volunteered at Mandurah Wildlife centre to improve my knowledge of Australian wildlife.

Small animal consulting work, small animal surgery. Took a role in schedule drug management.

This was a very busy clinic, working mostly 13 hours days as well as after hours. I gained a vast amount of experience here.

I learned to be efficient, working with a huge case load and various cases as well as client tele.

This was my shortest job experience, I worked the night shift , doing emergency work, as consulting work

I miss, having regular clients and patients, therefor I didn't stay in this position for too long.

• Small animal consulting and routine surgeries.
• We worked at a walk in clinic, doing very varied work. The two senior vets, wanted to be able to focus on there wildlife work, which included transporting South African wildlife. This worked well, as I would often be left to do sole charge work, which enabled them to focus on other areas of the clinic.
• This clinic also had a percentage of low socioeconomic clientele. This taught me, to think outside the box and to work within the client budget.
• This is a valuable lesson , to work with your client and have clear expectations as to the outcome of your case.

• As a new graduate this was a mix clinic that made me into the vet that I am.
• We did large and small animal work. I loved everything about this clinic.
• I learned to work and value my colleagues especially the nurses. They are your back bone.
• I did a bit everything, small animal work and large animal work. Farm visits After Hours calls
