Kristy Ligtermoet

Kristy is one of our success stories joining the practice fresh from school 12 years ago as the kennel hand. At the same time she enrolled in the part time Veterinary nursing course at Bentley TAFE which she completed with ease and then joined the full time nursing staff at Swanbourne.

Her reliability and unflappable nature have made her an integral part of the practice and she ensures the back half of the practice functions efficiently organising the vets, monitoring anaesthetics and supervising the younger staff.

Most clients will know Kristy as the admitting nurse in the mornings when animals are booked in for surgery and she also conducts the Wellness checks that have become a feature here at Swanbourne as part of our commitment to preventative medicine.

Kristy also plays an enormous role in the practice coordinating school visits to the practice, attending career sessions with Tony at secondary schools, and mentoring work experience students when they spend time with us either as part of the Instep programme or as part of school curriculum.

This part of veterinary practice goes largely unnoticed by the general public but in view of the immense career popularity of our work we are constantly trying to cater to all the enquiries we get from budding vets and nurses.

Currently we have a trainee veterinary nurse at the practice full time under Kristy's supervision. All this plus ordering the daily supplies from the wholesalers, does she ever sleep?

She took the plunge in April 2009 marrying Mark and they share their life with Storm a 6 month old Staffie.
