Amy has been in the veterinary industry for around 14 years and has a background of veterinary nursing.

Amy has worked in many different veterinary environments such as general practices, multi-disciplinary hospitals, specialist internal medicine as well as working as a nurse in the UK. Working as a vet nurse as well as in other senior nursing roles, enabled Amy to see what she needed in a manager.

Amy's aim is to always support, empower and show value to the nurses she manages, in a relaxed and collaborative management style.

At home in Melbourne, Amy spends her time with her rescue kids; Elvis Presley the Burmese cat and Hans Grüber the Staffy X. Both have had their fair share of medical issues with Hans having very severe separation anxiety. The true testament of the vet professional curse! Amy also has a fair few regular dogs she minds, sits and behaviour trains. Amy also loves vinyl records, plants, reading a good book and is a devote Elvis Presley fan.

VetCheck Vet Nurses Nurse Colleen

Nurse Colleen

I am a qualified Veterinary Technician originally from Canada but have called Australia home for the past 10 years. I started my career 13 years ago by diving straight into emergency and critical care nursing in Canada. I have since gained a wealth of experience working in several veterinary emergency hospitals in North Queensland, Newcastle and in Perth where I worked as a nurse manager.

I unfortunately do not have any pets of my own due to my love of travel. In my spare time I’m at the beach, playing guitar and singing, camping or free-diving. I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Computer Science majoring in Software Development and hope to contribute these skills to the veterinary industry as it progresses.

VetCheck Vet Nurses Nurse Donna

Nurse Donna

I am a highly qualified and experienced veterinary nurse. I started my animal career working with marine animals such as sharks, seals and penguins. I then went on to work in a UK zoological collection delivering educational presentations and assisting with the behaviour, training, and enrichment of a variety of species including parrots, birds of prey, otters and sealions.

I eventually changed my focus to more domesticated species (mainly cats and dogs) in 2004 when I became a small animal veterinary nurse. During my time as a veterinary nurse, I have worked in various clinics including first opinion and ECC (emergency critical care) so I am a very experienced triage nurse. I also worked for the famous Supervet, Noel Fitzpatrick in his orthopaedic and neurological referral practice for a time too!

Since 2014 however, I have taken a step back from clinical work and have spent the past few years teaching and passing on my knowledge to students on an animal management course. I love both teaching and learning! I hold many qualifications including an advanced diploma in veterinary nursing and a master’s degree in clinical animal behaviour.

As you can see my world revolves around animals and my personal life is no exception. I have a particular interest in snow dogs! I have rescued numerous huskies and malamutes over the years and I am currently owned by a very dopey young malamute called Seeley (aka Sausage) and a grumpy old female husky named Aurora (aka Demon dog) whom I adore.

I began veterinary nursing in 2004, and spent just over 10 years working in various small animal practices, where my passion was surgical nursing and anaesthesia. The latter 5 years I spent as head nurse, where I enjoyed training new nurses and helping to run the practice.

I then took a break from my career, spending six years raising and home educating my three young children. We live in Norfolk, UK, with our Romanian rescue dog, Maggie and cat Jemima.

I am now happy to be back doing what I love, being able to help animals and their humans, as well as spending time at home educating my children.

I have been vet nursing since 2003 and completed my training in Edinburgh, Scotland. Since qualifying as an RVN I have worked in both small animal and exotic practice. I have spent time in Australia and worked in several clinics in Melbourne before moving back to the UK to take the roll as head nurse for a very busy veterinary practice in Liverpool, England. I have since returned to Scotland to be close to my family and have completed the ISFM feline nursing certificate and adore all things cat!

I have a love for super fluffy animals and have two chow chows and 3 cats that keep me and my husband busy.

VetCheck Vet Nurses Nurse Cassie

Nurse Cassie

I have loved the industry since I was old enough to understand a career, which meant, going into clinic at an early age of 15 for work experience, at a mixed practice of large and small animals.

Throughout my career I have worked with a number of different animals including wildlife. I have been a qualified Veterinary Nurse for the last 9 years, and still enjoy the daily running’s of clinic.

I am currently a Senior Head Nurse at my current clinic, which keeps me on my toes, and the day exciting!

My special interests within the industry are surgical nursing and behavioural training, and have a soft spot for reptiles.

I live with my husband and 3-year-old boxer, who keeps me entertained on the daily!

VetCheck Vet Nurses Nurse Sophie

Nurse Sophie

My vet nursing journey started in 2008 in Liverpool, UK. I have been qualified for over 10 years and have worked mainly at busy hospitals within the charity sector.

During my time in practice, I very much enjoyed in-patient care. From hands-on tasks, such as placing intravenous catheters, to closely monitoring patients recovering from anaesthesia after surgery. No two days were ever the same.

I like interacting with clients. Whether that be supporting them in times of need or providing advice. There is no better feeling than helping clients care for their beloved pets.

I am passionate about the veterinary industry and continue to work within it even while travelling. Trust me when I say, no stray animal goes by me unpetted!

VetCheck Vet Nurses Nurse Jaimi

Nurse Jaimi

After 10 years in the television industry, and an amazing couple of months volunteering for a lion conservation project in Zimbabwe, I followed my heart and began my Vet Nursing career in 2014. I relocated from Sydney to the Sunshine Coast and have not looked back!

I have a degree in Communications and a Cert IV in Veterinary Nursing through the Animal Industries Resource Centre, which I updated to the most current version in 2021. I have completed my RECOVER CPR Basic and Advanced Life Support course through the American College of Veterinary Emergency & Critical Care. I enjoy undertaking additional training and continuing education to ensure my skills and knowledge remain current.

After a brief period in general practice, I trained and worked in a specialist and referral practice for over 6 years as a ward nurse, medicine nurse, then surgical nurse. I really enjoy the challenge of complex anaesthesia and how rewarding it is to recover these patients. I started working ECC in 2019, initially juggling this with my other role, then decided to focus solely on ECC. After three years enjoying this fast paced environment and a year in a Nurse Manager role, I have taken on a new challenge and left the weird and wonderful world of night shift to work in general practice and with VetCheck24/7.

In addition to the practical side of nursing, I love helping clients and their pets. I will 100% advocate for patients and am a dog, cat, and all other kind of animal person! I have a menagerie of pets at home including 2 greyhounds, 3 cats, 2 horses and 3 sheep. In my spare time I enjoy hiking, yoga, reading and napping.

Originally from a small country town in Victoria Kellie has always had an extra special interest in australian wildlife and conservation but has an affinity for all critters great and small.

She spends her downtime baking, playing in the sun with her four legged fur-child “Snagsy” the foster cat that stayed fur-ever and upskilling on any CDP she can access with a special interest in anaesthesia & exotics.
