Gayle’s childhood dream of working with animals became a reality when she started vet nursing in 2005 at a mixed practice. Growing up, she was known for bringing home frogs, lizards, and befriending stray cats in the neighbourhood. Her journey in animal care flourished, leading her to work in general practice clinics, emergency centres, specialist centres, and with wholesale suppliers.

Throughout her career, Gayle has attained certifications in nursing (Certificate 4), practice management, and training and development. In 2022, she joined the East Bentleigh team as their Practice Manager, embracing the challenges and joys it brings each day.

Outside of work, Gayle enjoys spending time with her family or hiking up a mountain. On cold evenings, she can be found cuddled up with her cat Molly, watching movies.
