Fitness, Nutrition and Personal Trainer: Meet Miranda!
Hi guys, I’m one of your mentors and tutors here at Online Courses Australia.
I have been a leading personal trainer, nutritionist, coach and fitness educator for many years. I am also a qualified clinical nutritionist. I went back to university to follow my passion. I studied for my Bachelor of Nutrition at The University of the Sunshine Coast and a Bachelor of Food Science at Deakin University.
I have an extensive background working with individuals, teams and organisations in the areas of physical transformation, nutritional coaching, cognitive performance, health assessment and self-management. In all honestly, I just love helping people with health and fitness.
I founded and owned my own personal training and coaching business and have over ten years of experience within the fitness industry. I was lucky to become an experienced Australian Institute of Fitness lecturer. I share my passion with hundreds of students, teaching them to optimise their health, fitness, and physique.
My career has taken me to many places. I even worked at two prestigious 5-star health retreats in Thailand, where I continued to share my love and passion for personal transformation. I am the national nutritionist for 12 Round/UBX Fitness and a nutritional course writer for Online Courses Australia and the Australian Institute of Personal Trainers. My philosophy is to share
my love and passion for health and fitness. Creating long-term, sustainable, and healthy changes in the lives of those I touch. I aim to show individuals how to create the optimum life through science-backed education, coaching, encouragement, support and planning.
I cannot wait to be there beside you, mentoring you on your journey to health.
Animal Health & Veterinary Care: Meet Erin!
Hello, I’m Erin, and I am very excited to support you in your learning journey with online courses in Australia.
From a young age, I've been a voice for animals, rescuing strays and caring for injured wildlife. My passion for Veterinary Nursing grew during high school, leading me to pursue a Diploma. I'm a wildlife carer for possums, birds, reptiles, and joeys.
Now part of AVERT, I'm an emergency and critical care ICU nurse with experience in specialist hospitals and local practice. I've also aided street animals in Thailand. I'm dedicated to sharing the knowledge and skills gained from this journey.
Passionate about continuing education, I've set up labs and workshops promoting veterinary education globally. My mantra is lifelong learning and sharing wisdom. It's been a thrilling journey, and I'm delighted to share my expertise with you!
Salon Owner, certified lash artist, and Educator: Meet Brianna!
Hi, students. I am the creator and mentor of your online lash extension course.
I am located in Melbourne, but virtually, I am everywhere. I kid you not when I say you can gain financial freedom when you become a certified lash artist, and I developed this course to give you just that. I have searched for who I am and where I belong from a young age. I hungered for the empowerment of being an independent businesswoman. I hustled daily to create a course that enables like-minded women to become independent, confident, sexy and empowered. I strive to have each and every one of my students be their true, authentic selves and build their lash empires with integrity and poise. In your course, you will learn how to create the most beautiful set of lash extensions, build your own business and edit your photos to give you an aesthetically pleasing social media feed. It’s not just all sunshine and rainbows; you will have struggles and want to throw your tools away and walk away about 100 times. You must be patient, though. You must understand that this is not a skill that is learned overnight. The good things in life do not come easy. You will get there. You will succeed. I am eagerly looking forward to virtually meeting you and training you. You can pick my brain as much as you need until you feel brave enough to go forward without me. We are in this together.
Animal Health & Veterinary Care: INDUSTRY MENTOR (Currently Head of Student Success)
I'm Hollie; I really enjoyed being your mentor and have continued working for OCA as Head of Student Success!
For more than 16 wonderful years, I've had the privilege of being a dedicated veterinary nurse. It's not just a job; it's my passion, my purpose, and my heart's delight. Every morning, I wake up with an uncontainable enthusiasm because I get to do what I love most - caring for animals.
Animals are my world; from our four-legged furry friends to feathery companions, I have had the honour of tending to them all. I've witnessed their unique quirks, boundless love, and moments of vulnerability.
I understand that working with animals can be both challenging and rewarding. Whether it's comforting a scared pup, administering medication to a stubborn cat, or assisting during surgeries, I've been there. I understand the incredible responsibility of ensuring every animal receives the best care possible.
Throughout my career, I have taken people under my wing, mentoring work experience students who have become a cherished part of our practice. Watching these students learn and grow has been a source of immense joy, and I can't wait to extend this mentorship to you.
As your mentor, I bring to the table a treasure trove of knowledge and experience. My enthusiasm is infectious, and I'm here to inspire you to push beyond your limits. Whether you're learning about animal behaviour, mastering veterinary techniques, or exploring the pathways to becoming a veterinary nurse, I am delighted to assist you.
With my guidance, you'll learn the ropes of animal care and develop the unwavering commitment and compassion that this field demands. We can build an understanding of the secrets of animal care and cultivate the skills you need to thrive in the world of Veterinary nursing. Feel free to reach out with your questions and curiosities on the amazing world of animal care.

Since then, I have worked with many talented and dedicated animal health professionals in Australia and worldwide.

I hope I can assist you with my extensive knowledge!
