✨️ STAFF SPOTLIGHT THURSDAY ✨️
Veterinarian, Dr Kyah.
Kyah is a homegrown local who joined our team in 2021 after graduating from the University of Sydney with a Bachelor of Veterinary Biology and Doctor of Veterinary Medicine. Having grown up in the area, she was keen to return to the South Coast and begin her veterinary career in a mixed practice setting. 🐮🐶🐱
Kyah’s connection to the clinic actually goes back much further — from visiting as a young client with her family pets, to completing school work experience and university placements with us, and now returning as a veterinarian. It’s been a special journey to see her come full circle and grow into the role she holds today.
Since graduating, Kyah has continued to build her skills and pursue further training, developing a strong interest in orthopaedic surgery. 🦴
Kyah is a highly driven and hardworking veterinarian who is always looking to grow and improve.
She has completed extensive additional training in orthopaedics, including CPD courses, time spent observing specialist surgeons, and hands-on experience performing procedures under guidance.
Kyah now leads our orthopaedic work within the clinic, performing procedures such as TPLO and continuing to expand her skills in this area. She is also currently working towards her Memberships in Small Animal Surgery. 🩻
Let’s get to know her a little better…
WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT BEING A VET?
It’s cliché, but I’ve always loved animals. I also love that no two days are the same, and every day brings a new challenge.
WHAT MADE YOU INTERESTED IN ORTHOPAEDICS?
I see orthopaedics as the perfect mix of my love for animals and veterinary medicine, along with my enjoyment of building and problem-solving — something that started from years of playing with Meccano and Lego.
Having a sporting background has also given me a strong appreciation for rehabilitation and improving mobility.
WHAT ANIMALS DO YOU CURRENTLY HAVE?
I have two Golden Retrievers, Marlo and Annie, two cats, Max and Marley, and lots of ducks and chickens — which my dogs love playing with.
WHAT IS AN INTERESTING FACT ABOUT YOU?
I travelled the world playing both field and indoor hockey, representing Australia.
