Ruvaashen Pillay
Technician at Ringwood Vet Hospital & Emergency and Lilydale Vet Centre.
Why did you choose to become a veterinary technician?
The day I quit stacking shelves, I applied for a reception role here. I really just wanted to do something to get as close as I could to working with animals. I was offered a position as. A technician – and I snapped it up!
Do you have any pets at home?
Siberian husky, black and white, who acts more like a person than a dog.
What are your interest areas when it comes to working with animals?
I love working in the emergency hours, it’s fast-paced, quick-thinking and always something different.
What is something interesting that we may not know about you?
I began martial arts before I started primary school, and continue with it to this day. I also play the drums.
My favourite hobbies include fishing, sports, aquarium-keeping and doing absolutely nothing.
