About Caroline

Caroline’s extensive experience as a veterinarian and having worked with both owned and stray dogs and cats at 3 of the biggest shelters in Victoria has given her a unique understanding of animal body language. She is passionate about improving the way humans read animal body language in order to increase the safety and wellbeing of both species.

In addition to training thousands of shelter employees, shelter volunteers and council-employed Animal Management Officers, she has also brought her love for training and education to the TAFE sector, delivering the Veterinary Nursing Certificate IV at Victoria University.

Always striving for continuous improvement, Caroline has collaborated with Workplace Quality and Safety managers to improve animal handling policies and procedures for the benefit of both human safety and animal wellbeing.
