Mariam

Mariam has a deep love for animals and has always wanted to work and help them from as young as she can remember.
She was initially waylaid and studied environmental science but saw the light and is now on track to study for many years with the final goal of becoming a veterinarian.
She has 2 cats (Turbo and Simeon), 1 horse (Tess) and an Australian Cattle Dog (Tucker) who is in the photo with her.
Her free time is taken up caring for the menagerie and heading on adventures, especially down the coast for a swim.

Catie Park

Like all of us, Catie joined the profession as she has loved animals her whole life. All her life she has been surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, and a range of birds. She currently has a Cavalier named Faith, and a budgie named Pickle. Catie’s nursing studies will finish at the end of 2022.

She enjoys reading, arts and crafts. Having moved to Canberra in 2009 after living in NT and QLD, her passion for swimming is now contained to the indoors!

Delaney’s (Laney) dream job has always been to work with animals. She has become especially fond of senior animals after rescuing a senior dog as well as growing up with her first pet, a beagle called Maisy (In photo).

She began formally studying vet nursing in July of this year and loves learning how to be a great nurse.

In her free time she enjoys reading and gardening and loves to pet sit for friends and family.
