Matilda has been immersed in the veterinary industry since 2019, beginning as a kennel hand in a general practice. Her passion for animal care led her to join Canberra Veterinary Emergency Service a year later in 2020, where her interest in emergency began. Matilda then completed her Certificate IV in 2021. Matilda’s career has taken her across Australia, including stints in the Northern Territory, far North Queensland, and central New South Wales, reflecting her love for travel and diverse work environments.
Outside of work, Matilda lives on a small property where she cares for an array of animals: three dogs, a cat, a bearded dragon, a llama, a cockatoo, and chickens. In her freetime, Matilda enjoys spending time outdoors, such as camping and hiking, blending her love for nature and wildlife.
