Meet Dr. Claire BSc BVSc MANZCVS (ECC)
Clinical lead ⭐️
Claire started in the veterinary industry as a veterinary nurse. She took a leap in 2005 and moved interstate to study Veterinary Science at the University of Sydney, graduating in 2010.
Her career took off with an intense first chapter in Kyabram, as a very busy dairy vet. But as life (and family) called her to Melbourne, Claire turned her focus to her passion for small animal emergency medicine, critical care and surgery.
In 2018, Claire completed her memberships in emergency and critical care. Her ability to think quickly and stay calm under pressure has made her a trusted figure in her field. She thrives on the investigative side of veterinary science, always eager to get to the bottom of a medical mystery and tailor the perfect care plan for each patient.
Her role in the profession has evolved over the last few years. Claire is deeply committed to ensuring that all her patients—and the people who care for them—get the highest standard of care. And in the last 12 months, she’s taken on a leadership role at Fur Life, where she’s focused on building a supportive, empowering environment for her team. Claire’s goal is to help each staff member reach their goals, while fostering a culture of well-being and work-life balance in a demanding industry. Her leadership style is grounded in respect and collaboration. She feels lucky to be part of such an amazing team and community. She believes the team vibe is palpable as soon as you walk through the doors at Fur Life. We love our patients and clients, we respect each other, and we laugh.
After hours, she is a busy local mum who loves family time, beach, exercise and sunrise ocean dunking. You will often see her rushing in and out of school drop off, watching her kids at their various extra-curricular activities, or being walked by her wire hair Jack Russel’s Fizzi and Lenny 🐶
