Angie's desire to work with animals began as a young girl growing up on a farm in Robertson where she gained valued experience working with many different farm animals from chickens to cows, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits and mice. She has owned a variety of different dog breeds over the years and her voluntary work with the RSPCA gave her lots of experience managing and learning different behavioural techniques.
With her keen interest in canine behaviour and her past experience as a certified PT Angie is not only a great nurse but has also become the perfect fit as our Puppy pre-school tutor. She brings a great spark to our clinic atmosphere with her bright and bubbly sense of humour and we look forward to seeing her thrive here at SGAH.
In her spare time Angie enjoys taking her four legged fiends Joe and Harry to the dog parks and beaches and cuddling with her cats Barney and Marshall.
