Dr Kate graduated as a vet from the University of Sydney in 1988 and has worked extensively in Australia and abroad. Her skills at diagnosis, communicating possible treatment options, and a genuine empathy with the patients under her care has gained her a loyal following over the years. Her experience in Veterinary Practice is considerable, having first worked in a busy rural mixed Practice, moving to a highly respected Sydney Hospital and then abroad to the UK, where she experienced a varied and stimulating caseload in both the local RSPCA Clinic and a large city Practice.
Dr Kate understands that every case is unique. Her goal is to offer sound advice in a professional and yet sensitive fashion to ensure the best possible outcome for clients and their pets.
In her spare time, Kate enjoys photographing wildlife and searching for truffles at a local farm with her dog, Hepburn.
