Hey everyone, my name is Tharigaah and I am an aspiring zoo veterinarian with a lifelong passion for animals. In 2021 I had the amazing opportunity to complete my grade 11 co-op here at Derry Village Animal Clinic, and before finishing my co-op I was offered a job! From a young age, I’ve loved working with all kinds of animals, from small pets to large wildlife.

My goal is to pursue a career in zoological medicine, where I can combine my hands-on experience with specialized training to care for exotic and endangered species. I not only love animals, but also love talking, so if you ever feel bored, feel free to walk up to the front desk! In my free time you can find me binging Tamil dramas with my grandma, traversing the outdoors or sleeping the day away.
