Chelsie

Veterinary Nurse

For as long as I can remember, I have been in love with the world of animals—growing up as a kid, teenager and now as a young adult. No matter the creature, I’ve always had a soft spot for those that cannot communicate how they feel in the way humans can, but in a way that is different and special. 

In 2017, I volunteered at a remote elephant rehabilitation foundation in Sri Lanka. Their mission was to provide a safe home and ongoing care for the elephants involved in Buddhist festivals and rescuing injured elephants. After my travels, I decided to move from my family home in Forster and have now completed my Cert II in Animal Studies and am at the tail end of my Cert IV in Veterinary Nursing. 

I now live on the Central Coast and have immersed myself in putting my accumulating knowledge into practise. I enjoy constantly learning from all the amazing staff at Killarney Vale Veterinary Clinic and communicating with clients. I hope to gain experience with large animals one day also.
