Paula Castle
Receptionist
I am originally from Bunbury where I spent most of my free time out on friend and family's farms or down at the local riding school, cause when I grew up all I wanted to do was work on a farm or become a mounted police officer hehehe. My Dad's family are farmers from down Alexandra Bridge so animals and farming are in the blood.
I left Bunbury when I was 18yr and moved to Perth for a bit. I then got the travel bug and moved to Qld for a year then the UK for 5 yrs.
After travelling, I settled back in Perth where I worked part-time in retail and raised my 3 boys. While raising my boys I fostered for the RSPCA as it was a great opportunity to have so many different animals come into our lives and loved to be able to care and rehabilitate them, so they could find there for ever homes.
My kids loved it as there was never a dull moment, they got to see, cuddle and learn about so many different animals. It was the best job ever. We did that for about 10 years. Now my boys are 21yr, 18yr & 16yr and currently live in Perth.
I have moved to Wongan Hills to be with my partner and was lucky enough to become the receptionist at Wheatbelt Vets, so I can continue to help animals and give them all the cuddles in the world.
