Hi! My name is Lorissa, I am 22 years old and aiming to begin studying a Bachelor of Veterinary Technology at UQ this year. I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, having been vegetarian by choice since I was 9 years old. I have also owned a variety of animals and species including, cats, dogs, fish, turtles and rats.
I currently own 2 cats, Kovu and Athena, and have also lived with many dogs growing up.
Although my experience in this field is limited, I have completed a Certificate III in Animal Studies (Vet nursing) which has granted me knowledge in handling, body language, behaviour, enrichment health assessment practices etc in both cats and dogs. I have also volunteered at a Cattery as part of my assessment through the certificate and volunteered at the Animal Welfare League outside of the certificate. I also have knowledge in OH&S practices and infection control.
I am often regarded as a kind, compassionate person. I am also well organised and self-managed.
I am also on my full open licence with my own car to commute....
