Dr Audrey Yeo – Veterinary Surgeon

I’m Audrey and I enjoy working with your fur babies, both large and small! I graduated from the University of Sydney and although I initially held interest in horse medicine, I find myself happier and more confident working with dogs and cats, as well as the occasional rabbit. I’m always down for a cuddle (with your pet!) and dearly miss my 2 little old ladies (dogs) back in Perth.

Stephanie Joni – Practice Manager

I’m the Practice Manager here at Dr Paws Lane Cove. My role here is to take care of all the vets & support staff who take care of your animals. My focus will always be to ensure we can provide the absolute best care of each client & patient (big or small) that walks through that door.

I am fortunate to reside on a farm surrounded by a delightful array of pets, including two cats (British Short Hair and Domestic Medium Hair), a French Bulldog, a Netherland Dwarf Rabbit, and six cows. In my spare time, I actively participate in community sports, engaging in activities such as Oz tag and soccer in the Hills District. Recently, I’ve discovered a newfound passion for Archery, aspiring to represent Australia in the 2028 Olympics.

Carly Davy – Head Veterinary Nurse

I’m very excited to be part of an industry where I can help animals every day, and am looking forward to meeting all of your pets! I have a little ginger rescue kitten named Henry who has just turned one. He is my pride and joy. You’ll commonly find him lazing about the house or taking up all the room on the bed.

In my spare time I enjoy getting out of the city to explore the local National Parks, going to the beach, and travelling up the coast to visit my family.

Avash Koju – Veterinary Nurse

I’m a Veterinarian from Nepal who graduated in 2019 and has been caring and treating animals ever since. I’m currently working here at Dr Paws as a Veterinary Nurse and I feel very happy to be working here and taking care of all of the animals. I moved to Australia in February of this year and have spent most of my spare time exploring new places and trying new things.

Isabelle Bergin – Senior Veterinary Nurse

I have been working as a veterinary nurse since graduating in 2021. I love all animals which is the reason I joined the profession and love all aspects of the job. I recently moved to Sydney from Ireland where my two dogs, Bailey and Lila, remain. I spend my free time exploring Sydney and the surrounding beaches.

Ashleigh (Ash) Jones – Animal Attendant & Receptionist

I’m so excited to be working with the team of Dr Paws Lane Cove to help and support all of our furry patients. Some background about me, I’ve studied Certificate II in Animal Studies at TAFE NSW and Certificate III in Wildlife and Exhibited Animal Care at Taronga Zoo Sydney. In the near future I will be studying Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing at TAFE NSW.

At home I have three fur babies, Rosie (pictured) the Golden Retriever, Simba the Ragdoll, and Stormy the Domestic Long Hair cat. I adopted Stormy as a rescue kitten and he is my pride and joy. When I’m not spending time with my furry friends, I enjoy horse riding, shopping, and spending time with my family and friends.

Keira Browne – Animal Attendant & Receptionist

Hi! I’m Kiera. I’m very keen to meet all of you and your furry children. I’m so excited to join and support the amazing team here at Dr Paws Lane Cove, I’m constantly learning from everyone as I study my Certificate II in Animal Care.

I’m from Wagga Wagga where I grew up around lots of animals and my love for them grew from there. I love looking after your cats staying in our cattery, making sure they have the best experience possible here. I can’t wait to be a Veterinary Nurse in this industry, further helping animals in need.
