Heard of the quiet achiever? Kristin is that girl. Kristin is a trainee nurse that began with us in December 2018. She is the most likeable, eager to please, nice lady with a great work ethic. Kristin has previously achieved a Bachelor Degree in Health Science which led her to her first position at the Austin Hospital. After a short while she decided this was not her ideal role and she re-evaluated.
In her spare time Kristin is a gun basketballer. Her height obviously helps this, but she enjoys the team work and friendships she has gained, and winning premierships is the added bonus. This athleticism has rolled over to her being a regular participant in the “Relay for Life” 24-hour run, which is a fundraiser for the Cancer Council. After the exhaustion of this active lifestyle kicks in, Kristin is an avid reader. Whether it is books, or newspapers, she loves gaining knowledge through reading and finds it relaxing.
Kristin’s love of animals finally led her towards Veterinary Nursing. Beginning her role with us has allowed her to meet the pre-requisite for the nursing course. She has finished her course now and is a Certificate IV Veterinary Nurse. Kristin now passes on her knowledge teaching the new staff members with her patient ways.
At home Kristin and her partner share timeout with, "Finn" a Tabby Domestic Shorthair & "Jasper" the Whippet!
Kristin is a delight to have in the practice. Not once have we heard a negative or a moan from her, she attacks every task methodically and is flexible with rostering. She is an integral part of our nursing team. Hopefully Kristin has many years ahead as part of the Northern Suburbs Veterinary team.
