💙 Where did you study veterinary medicine?
I studied at Onderstepoort in South Africa and graduated in 2002.
💙 Where has your veterinary career taken you?
After graduating, I moved to the UK and spent almost four years working in small animal practice and emergency medicine. That’s also where I met my husband! We later returned to South Africa and bought a small animal practice in the Western Cape, which we ran for 16 years.
💙 Have you done any further study?
Yes! In 2020, I completed a year-long program through the Chi University in Florida and earned a diploma in Veterinary Acupuncture.
💙 What brought you to Gladstone?
After spending three and a half years working in New Zealand, my family and I made the move to Gladstone, and we’re so happy to be here!
💙 What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
When I’m not at the clinic or with my family, I love swimming, cycling, running, and reading. I also enjoy horse riding whenever I get the chance.
