Tori achieved a Bachelor of Applied Science with a major in Veterinary Technology and Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing in 2015 from the University of Queensland. Upon graduation she was lucky enough to be offered a position as an emergency technician at Animal Emergency Services (AES), Gold Coast. After developing her skills as a new graduate nursing medical and surgical patients throughout a mixed specialist and emergency practice, Tori began to work in the ICU at AES Gold Coast and quickly developed an immense passion for critical care nursing. In 2018 she made the leap to Pet ICU, Underwood as a Core Critical Care Nurse where, along with nursing the most critical patients in south east Queensland, she is now involved with training and education of the nursing team. Tori achieved her Veterinary Technician Specialist in Emergency & Critical Care through The Academy of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Technicians and Nurses in 2023 and hopes to inspire other Veterinary Nurses & Technicians to undertake specialty training. Some of her favourite cases to manage are ventilator, septic, endocrine and cardiology patients, as well as pain management.
