Terry
Veterinary Nurse
About Terry
On the 2nd October 2020, Terry joined the Dapto Veterinary Clinic team. We are extremely pleased to have her onboard! Terry has been a human nurse for like “forever” and always wanted to be a vet nurse! Terry has pretty much worked at every hospital in the Illawarra. Terry figured it was a now or never decision, so when the opportunity arose to make the transition from caring for humans to caring for animals at Dapto Vet Clinic, she jumped on it and is not looking back!
Terry has an extremely pregnant foster cat, 2 horses and a dog and was also born and bred in the Illawarra.
