That dream is now her reality. Kylie’s encouragement of her team to foster a friendly rapport with pet owners and their pets, and to pursue their passion for veterinary care has paid dividends for the centre’s clients and pets.
When not at the centre, Kylie is busy looking after her family – human, four-legged and feathered – and likes being active on her family farm and enjoying classical music.
