Our LSVC family would like to give a warm welcome to Dr. Isabelle, who joined us last month. Some of you have already had the pleasure of meeting her, but for those who haven't yet, she is a wonderful addition to our team. Please be sure to say hello and introduce yourselves when you see her around!
Isabelle grew up on a farm on the outskirts of Warrnambool. She completed a marine science degree and then gained her BVSc with honours from UQ. Over the next 10 years she worked in busy practices in the Northern Rivers, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. She moved back to Warrnambool for family reasons (not the weather!), joining the Lava St family. As a vet her passions are surgery and radiography.
Outside of the vet world she teaches yoga and reformer pilates. She and her husband have 3 kids, a cheeky cat Benji, an axolotl Norma Jean, and 7 chickens. She is obsessed with learning and is halfway through a certification in Ayurvedic Health, learning the harp and dabbling in art (currently watercolour and mosaic). Born a beach bum, she loves being in the outdoors – travelling overseas, camping, beach swims and beach walks, bushwalks and gardening. At the end of the day she loves nothing better than a book and a cup of tea near the fire.
