SHELLEY

Veterinary Assistant & Reception

 

Considering her start with animals, it's a wonder she ever ended up choosing this career path. Her parents got their first family pet (a cat) when she was just a little girl. She was so scared, she wouldn't even come out of her bedroom! But once that bond was formed, so was her love for animals and has been an animal lover ever since.
