How long have you been at Currumbin Wildlife Hospital?

I have been with Currumbin Wildlife Hospital for close to 5 years. Before this, I volunteered for approximately 4 years and was a student for 1 year. I have learned something new every single day.

Motivation to save wildlife:

Wildlife has a tremendous intrinsic value to society and me personally. I believe humans have a duty as caretakers of this planet to protect all its species, both plants and animals. I feel incredibly privileged to see species up close that many people do not even realise exist and I believe contributing to the conservation of wildlife is the least I could do to give back to this world.
