Dr Michelle

Veterinarian DVM, BSc (Vet bioscience), BHSc (Hons) Adelaide, BSc, BA


Michelle joined us in 2018 and quickly became an integral part of the team. Her passion for cats aligns perfectly with our ‘Cat-Friendly Clinic’ status, making her a great fit for our feline program.

Michelle’s academic journey began with a double bachelor’s degree with honours in human physiology, psychology, and anatomy from the University of Adelaide. After working in research, she shifted her focus to clinical work and animals, earning her DVM from Roseworthy in 2015. Since then, she has worked in small animal general practice and assisted in teaching veterinary students. She is particularly interested in feline internal medicine and behaviour.

Michelle is also involved in the veterinary community as a member of the Roseworthy Veterinary Alumni committee and the AVA SA division committee. Recently, she built a house in Gawler and shares it with her Swedish Vallhund, Loki, and three rescue cats—Percy, Darwin, and Munty. In her spare time, Michelle enjoys reading, art, yoga, and tending to her garden and indoor plants.
