Chiara’s journey in the wildlife world started in 2018 when she started volunteering in wildlife centres and veterinary clinics in Northern NSW/ SE QLD. She was then employed at Currumbin Wildlife Hospital, where she worked as a Hospital and Rehabilitation Vet Nurse. This is where her love for birds, in particular seabirds and pelagics, really started to flourish. In 2022 Chiara started working at Byron Bay Wildlife Hospital as a full-time Wildlife Vet Nurse and hasn’t looked back since. Chiara’s goal is to make a difference both for the individual wildlife patient and for wildlife. conservation on a wider scale.
