Sam
Veterinary Nurse
Sam was born and raised in the Central West, and grew up exploring the bush and wildlife – she was responsible from a young age for all the family pets. She developed a keen interest in animals and their behaviour and anatomy, so Vet Nursing has proven to be the ideal career for her.
Sam completed her Cert 4 in Veterinary Nursing at Orange TAFE in 2018 and joined the Mulberry Lane team at the start of 2019. Sam particularly enjoys parasitology and cytology.
Away from her beloved animals, Sam volunteers at a Shelter where she takes photos, creating online profiles for animals available for adoption, and enjoys wildlife photography too. Sam is interested in anything to do with History and Aviation, and has a goal of one day acquiring her pilots license.
She has held a reptile licence for 13 years, and currently owns a variety of reptiles including 6 pythons of different species, a Bearded dragon, a BlueTongue lizard and a saw shelled turtle. Her more traditional pets are 2 rescue cats, a 14 yr old Bull Terrier and a young Catahoula x Coolie called “Luger”.

Chloe
Veterinary Nurse
Chloe joined Mulberry Lane while working towards her Cert 4 Veterinary nursing qualifications at Orange TAFE. She was born and raised in Orange and developed her love of nature when she was very young – visiting a relative’s farm meant she could go riding and learn to care for all the animals. She has played sport all her life and is an accomplished netballer, also enjoying water skiing and keeping fit. She is a qualified Personal Trainer.
At work, Chloe enjoys “imaging” – taking and interpreting Xrays and scans. And of course she loves playing with puppies and kittens! Chloe has a black and white kitten at home, called Moe.

Lucy B
Registered Veterinary Nurse
Lucy joined the Mulberry Lane team in 2018. She was brought up in Parkes and trained at Orange TAFE where she gained her Cert4 in Vet Nursing in 2007.
Lucy has worked in a range of Vet clinics across the Central West and isn't afraid of really giving things a go - a few years ago she was working full time, building a house and studying by distance Education for another qualification, all at once!
This second qualification is a Diploma in General Practice Vet Nursing which took 3 years of work. It involved studying units in advanced Veterinary nursing, customer service, clinic management and training plus practical assessments and a detailed case study.
As you can see, Lucy loves variety at work and her favourite things are pathology and taking care of our inpatients in the hospital.
Outside work, Lucy enjoys running with her dogs, reading and music - she has a beautiful voice and is learning the cello. Lucy has two cats and a puppy!
