Registered Veterinary Nurse & Practice Manager
Nicole

With over 20 years of dedicated service in the veterinary industry, I am proud to be a part of a team that has shaped my career in the most rewarding ways. My journey with the company has been filled with invaluable experiences, professional growth, and countless memorable moments. I have had the privilege of working in several of our clinics, including Wagga Wagga, Junee, Corowa, and Griffith, before returning to Griffith in 2014 to take on the role of managing and reinventing the Griffith Veterinary Hospital. I often refer to the clinic as my “first baby,” and it has been incredibly fulfilling to see it grow and thrive with the help of my incredible team. Together, we’ve built a compassionate, caring, and skilled environment for both our patients and clients, and I couldn’t be more proud of what we’ve achieved.

Veterinary nursing has been my passion since I was a child, which is why I started my journey at the age of 15 by doing work experience with the company. Since then, I’ve dedicated my life to learning and growing within this profession. The most rewarding part of my career is the opportunity to meet clients, care for their beloved pets, and build long-lasting relationships based on trust and compassion. There is no greater privilege than being a part of a pet’s care journey.

When I'm not at work, I enjoy spending time with my own pets, who are a constant source of joy and laughter in my life. My family home includes three wonderful cats: Evie the Chinchilla, Toulouse the Ragdoll, and Apollo the Abyssinian. (If I bring any more home, my husband might just divorce me! 😊). We hope that soon, another Bernese Mountain Dog will join our family, watch this space! Alongside my furry companions, I am also a proud mother to four amazing sons: Ryan, William, Theodore, and our newest addition, baby Jacques. 

I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to build a career doing what I love, surrounded by an amazing team, clients, and of course, my loving family and pets.
