I have a special interest in surgery, and also love getting to know both clients and their beautiful pets. Animals have always brought me so much love and joy, so I feel very blessed to be able to spend my life caring for them.

I have a keen interest in some of the more weird and wonderful animals that come into our clinic as I have owned exotics in the past. I’m looking forward to what the future holds with me here at the clinic and getting to know more of the Newcastle area along with the amazing locals and all their lovely pets.

I enjoy all aspects of nursing but I have a particular interest in hospital and treatment nursing, where I can spend the time comforting our sick and injured animals. Emelie is currently on maternity leave.

I love working at Dr Paws and enjoy meeting and caring for all of the animals that come into the practice. I like to make each one feel safe and comfortable on their visit.

I came into the veterinary industry in 2006 after a long career in the police force.
I have always loved animals and had completed a research paper re human/pet relationships as part of my social welfare degree. This increased my interest.
In 2007 I was awarded a TAFE medal in veterinary nursing, however I had no intention of actually working in the field at the time.
