Since 2014 I have been the proud owner of the Ivanhoe Veterinary Clinic.
I am fortunate to do what I love each and every day!
I am so very proud of my story, my profession and of my clinic. My aim is to help the Ivanhoe Veterinary Clinic be the best it can be and to help maximise the health and happiness of all the pets that visit it.
I am a born and bred Ivanhoe girl, having grown up in Ivanhoe East and attending Mother of God Primary School. In fact, Dr John Walton (the previous owner of the Ivanhoe Veterinary Clinic) was my family vet when I was growing up and I even completed my high school work experience at the Ivanhoe Vet Clinic!
