Jill Firstenberg Student Veterinary Nurse

Jill came to us from the US with 35 years of veterinary nursing experience. Born and raised in New York she then moved to California where she was in a nurse practice that specialised in holistic veterinary care. She also worked for 10 years as a senior caregiver for two western lowland gorillas. She moved to the UK with her British husband in 2010 and worked as a veterinary care nurse before coming to Forest Lodge in December 2017 where she is now working towards her UK veterinary nursing qualification. She has a soft spot for “sassy” cats and has an interest in geriatric care and nutrition. When not at work Jill enjoys photography, forest walks, travel and spending time with her 10-year-old rescue Newfoundland Ella, and her ex-feral rescue cat Rudy.
