Emily

Our senior nurse Emily has been in the industry for over 15 years in large hospitals around Sydney. She has previously taken on the roles as Head Nurse and Practice Manager.

Emily has always had a passion for all animals and is especially interested in the mental wellbeing of our beloved pets. Her love of cats has influenced her continued education. She has completed the “ Stress Free Pets “ course and has worked at ISFM gold standard cat accredited clinics.

Emily has 2 ginger cats that are a mother-and-son rescue. They can usually be found relaxing in the sun on her balcony chairs. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her friends and family, travelling, going to the beach or enjoying a horror movie or ghost-hunting tour. 

Paula Spanish Speaking

Paula

Animals have always ignited a special passion in Paula since childhood, inspiring her to help those in need. With nearly 5 years in the animal industry, she cherishes learning, exploring new places, and creating cherished moments with loved ones. Paula’s life revolves around three rescued cats—Odin (5), Loki, and Hela (almost 2).

In the future, Paula sees herself becoming a dedicated feline veterinarian in Australia, caring for both small and large feline species.

Beyond her career, she aims to be a compassionate, enlightened individual, finding joy and fulfilment in her own personal development.

Matt

With over 2 years as a veterinary nurse, Matt has a deep love for animals and finds fulfilment in contributing to their health and well-being. Relatively new to the veterinary industry, Matt is marking his first year as a veterinary nurse and second year overall.

Outside of work, Matt immerses himself in music, movies, and spending quality time with friends and family.
His heart belongs to cats, and at home, he has Jim, his pampered feline who has a knack for finding the most unique spots to relax in.

Looking ahead, Matt envisions himself growing into a highly confident and knowledgeable vet nurse.

Bridget

Bridget

While Bridget is still quite new to working in the veterinary industry with just over a year’s experience, she has volunteered in a vet clinic for three years and feels very comfortable inside one. She is also currently studying veterinary science and medicine at the University of Sydney.
 
Bridget has always found value in helping people and animals, and growing up in the country allowed her to have contact and experience with all sorts of animals, fueling her passion for caring for them. She also has a particular interest in native animal care.
 
Outside of work, she spends most of her time studying, and whenever she has the chance, she can be found outside in nature, especially trail running and climbing.
 
Currently, she doesn’t have any of her own pets, but still claims the family Labrador, Bobbie, and the cat, Spookles, as her own. She looks forward to the day when she can have enough time to have her own pets.
 
Moving forward, she is keen to finish her studies and return to the country to work mixed practice as she has a lifelong love of cows and hopes to be able to tie this and her interest in native animal care into her future career.


Arabella

Arabella enjoys working in the animal care field, as she finds fulfilment in helping those who cannot speak for themselves. Whilst still learning and progressing through her career as a Veterinary Nurse, she has been a part of the Croydon Park family since 2024. She has since gained new qualifications in animal care.

Outside of work Arabella can be found spending quality time with her friends or her lazy staffy Harley. In the future Arabella hopes to work a blend of general practice as well as emergency care.
