Meet the team … Molly is our Lead Veterinarian. She is semi local to the area having grown up in Staughton vale and attended school in Geelong. Molly then moved to NSW to study a Bachelor of Veterinary Biology and Bachelor of Veterinary Science at Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga. She now lives in Bannockburn with her husband, stepdaughter, 2 dogs (Raymond and Tilly) and 3 legged rescue cat (Fergie). Molly has been a vet at this clinic for 9 years so far, and hopes many more to come.

Mollys has wanted to be a vet from as soon as she could speak and really didn't have a back up plan. She initially saw herself as a mixed practice vet because of her love for cows, however after starting out she soon realised that surgery was where her heart lies. Molly can't pick a most memorable moment because this career has delivered so many amazing memories already. Mollys most treasured part of working at Golden Plains Animal Hospital is having many pets that she has seen from their first introduction to the family right through all their life stages. In fact some of the patients have been seeing Molly from birth with their local breeders then continued seeing her with their new families. 🥰

Outside of work Mollys interests are running, aerial fitness, group fitness classes and cross stitching.
