I had been a Senior Instructor in outdoor adventure sports for 15 years. I re-evaluated my career path during the pandemic lockdown. I decided I wanted to pursue a job in which I could help animals. I wanted to become a Veterinary Nurse. I chose O’Fiaich Institute for the PLC course, as it was a path I could use to get into a Veterinary Nursing degree course. I am currently studying the Level 6 Advanced Animal Science to gain more work experience for progression.
