Melissa Halverson-Rose

Hi, I'm Mel. I completed my National Certificate in Veterinary Nursing at CPIT in 2007 where I gained awards for excellence in Anaesthesia and Clinical work. I completed my work experience at Total Vets. Half way through my training was lucky enough to join the team and I've been here ever since. When I'm not busy at work or looking after Sid, Becky and Gwen (my own furry family) you'll find me out on my dirt bike or in the mall shopping with friends.

The true master of the clinic, responsible for rodent control, sitting on chairs to ensure the staff aren't sitting down on the job, and finding ever new and more inventive ways to raid the food cupboard.
