Rhiannon’s favourite part of being a veterinary nurse is the unusual cases, in particular exotics. She aspires to keep learning as much as possible, about disease, nutrition, wildlife and biology, and one day pursue her dream to work with rehabilitation of endangered species. Her favourite animal is the orangutan, and is captured by their beauty and dreams of meeting one. Since she cannot have a pet orangutan, she makes do with her pet snake, Patrick, and plans to shortly expand her family with chickens and pet rats.
