veterinary DIRECTOR
BVSc (Hons)
CURRENTLY ON MATERNITY LEAVE
I graduated with Honours from the University of Queensland in 2014 and have been with the GSV family since October, 2017.
I love all aspects of general practice and especially enjoy getting to know our pet parents through caring for their pets.
I am also highly passionate about leadership and enjoy assisting our vet team to grow professionally and personally.
When not at work, I enjoy spending time at the gym, hanging out with my husband, playing the latest computer games, exploring new dog walking spots and playing volleyball.
I have a geriatric, anxiety plagued Beagle ‘Cindy’ and a (thankfully!) low-maintenance cat called ‘Sasha’.
Rae is currently on Maternity Leave.
