Carissa Faulkner

Veterinary Nurse

Growing up in the rural town of Barraba, NSW, where animals out numbered people, Carissa has always been surrounded by animals. Her favorite place to visit was her grandfathers’ farm where she could feed the pigs, cows, sheep, horses, ducks, chickens, ferrets and rabbits. Carissa first realised she wanted to work with animals after an unfortunate accident with her dog that followed with several visits to the local vets, she was fascinated with watching the progress of my dogs’ health. Her first job working with animals was at one of the largest RSPCA’s in the country in Melbourne, where she was enjoyed to no end being able to walk dogs, groom cats and socialise rabbits.

Having completed her Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing, she plans to continue her professional education and achieve a Certificate IV in captive animals.
