Karen Smith
Veterinary Nurse (Veterinary Nurse Certificate IV)
Karen has been working as a veterinary nurse since 1993. She is an asset to the Mittagong Veterinary Hospital, as she enjoys all aspects of nursing, and she knows small animals, their needs and your needs. Whilst having worked in busy small animal multi-vet practices, she is also comfortable in rural practices. Karen is experienced in dog training as well and has run her own successful dog training business.
Today Karen works as a part-time veterinary nurse whilst also enjoying being a mum to her delightful daughter Emma. Her two energetic whippets keep all fit and healthy.
I, Keith, welcome Karen back into the practice (as she has done locum work here in the past) and I'm sure you'll all welcome her as she gets to know your fur babies and your selves.
