Anomalia Veterinary Services is a house call veterinary practice servicing the Fraser Coast. Having worked as a mixed veterinarian in the area since 2020, we understand the challenges of accessing prompt veterinary attention especially in regards to equine emergencies and at-home end-of-life care for companion animals. With this knowledge, Anomalia Veterinary Services was established to offer these services for dogs, cats and horses.
We strongly believe in collaboration and will work closely with your primary veterinarian, specialists and allied health professionals to manage your pets health and keep them informed at all steps along the way.
My journey to become a veterinarian has been a long and interesting one. I rode horses professionally before travelling the world and living in London for two years. I then worked in marketing and event management for over a decade before taking a giant leap of faith to change careers and combine my passion for animals and career strengths in communication and building client relationships.
On graduating from The University of Melbourne, I started out my career in mixed practice in Darwin, NT which involved small animal medicine, equine medicine and surgery, performing race track duties at the Darwin Turf Club and conducting live export inspections as an Australian Accredited Government Veterinarian. I also gained exposure to some interesting tropical disease cases. Relocating to the Fraser Coast, I worked for a mixed practice treating the regions pets from Childers, Hervey Bay to Biggenden and Tiaro. I then moved into small animal emergency medicine on the Sunshine Coast to improve my skills with critical cases and to keep abreast of new veterinary techniques.
I feel humbled by the trust clients place in me and I value our relationship as we work together on the best care for their pets whilst treating them with kindness, compassion and respect.
My interests focus on “One Health” which aims to connect human, animal, and environmental health. I enjoy exploring and understanding the complexities of human-animal interactions from the effects of animal therapy programs on human mental health and physical well-being to drawing on human advances in medicine to improve animal welfare within a veterinary medicine context.
I am also motivated to use my skills and knowledge to work with under-privileged, developing and indigenous communities on veterinary health education programs to improve global standards in animal welfare leading to positive impacts on human social. economic and health.
