Summary

A dynamic Veterinary Surgeon on a 3 year working holiday visa looking for a break from the animals to pursue other industries with some casual work.

A sociable, chatty and enthusiastic character adept at learning new skills quickly, I'm happy working solo or in a fun team. Able to draw on experience from my veterinary care as well as many non-vet related roles, I'm sure I'll be able to slot into a working environment and bring something valued to the team.
