Summary

I am a dedicated Small Animal Veterinarian with 3 years of experience in clinical practice priding myself in quality and compassionate care. After graduation I undertook a position at Blaxland Veterinary Clinic in the Blue Mountains - a 3 vet clinic with a large caseload. I then commenced maternity leave and moved to the Gwydir region with my husband to start our family. Since then I have started casual work at the Pinewood Gwydir Visiting Vets as a small animal veterinarian. I have a passion for forging positive, trusting relationships with owners and their pets, soft tissue surgery, and dermatology. I am also competent in small animal dentistry and anaesthesia. I am capable of working independently but also enjoy operating in a team environment.
