It was through her association with AnimalWelfare League (AWL) that Pip really startedto see working with dogs as a potential career.At AWL, Pip worked her way up from cleaningdog kennels and cat cages, to desk roles, beinginvolved in the pet adoption process, and thenon to becoming a behavioural assessor,determining whether a dog was suitable foradoption. Pip said it was a difficult decision toleave AWL, but the opportunity to work as aPuppy Education Supervisor for RSB was toogood to miss.“I am someone who really thrives on pushingmyself and trying to get more knowledge andexperience under my belt. I’m a big believer intrying to better yourself,” she said.This is why Pip also guests lectures to animalsciences students at the University’sRoseworthy campus, and has supervisedhonours students undertaking their majorprojects at RSB.Although Pip could have gone down a verydifferent path and studied engineering atUniversity, following another of her passions,Pip believes she has made the right careerchoice. “I am fully aware that the animalindustry is not an industry where I am going tobecome a millionaire...,” Pip said.“If you can find a job where you are happy togo to work, well surely that is the jackpot.”ALUMNI MAGAZINE - WINTER 201925
