Michelle joined the team at the Canberra
Equine/Vet hospital in 2007. Her role involves the management of stock and
related duties for both practices. Michelle has worked in Veterinary Practice
for seven years, firstly as a Veterinary Nurse and then in an administrative
role.
Michelle has been riding horses since eight
years of age and has owned several horses over the years for pleasure riding.
Michelle also owns two dogs, an Australian Shepherd and a Border Collie, both
of which used to compete in fly ball and agility trials. As they enter their
senior years a daily walk and a paddle in the river are enough to keep them
happy and healthy. Michelle also owns a Rex rabbit who she adopted from the
RSPCA, an 18 year old moggie cat who also came to live with Michelle at the age
of 10 as she could no longer be cared for by her elderly owner. Michelle also
has goldfish and birds.
In her spare time Michelle enjoys horse riding,
playing soccer, walking, weekends away at the coast and watching her favorite
football team, The Sydney Swans.
