Cherlene is dedicated to making My Vet more than just a vet hospital by giving back to the community through the Pledge 1% movement and hosting regular events (or “Pawty” as we like to call it) to celebrate pet ownership. She also has a very strong interest in nutrition. The loves of Cherlene’s life are her two rescue furbabies: Siao Chu and Chairman Mao.

Jess developed a love for adventure and strong leadership skills as a member of the Australian Army Cadets and continues to stay involved by volunteering at her high school unit and mentoring cadets at their annual field exercises. She is also a very active person, loves hiking and trying new sports, and can often be found playing volleyball and badminton multiple times a week.

Jess is currently looking for her first pet away from home, so she is all ears to learn about how your fur-baby came into your life and why they are the best breed to have!

He has a particular interest in internal medicine and appreciates the problem solving required in particularly complex cases. He strives to always apply the most current knowledge to ensure all his patients receive the best standard of care.

In his spare time, he loves trying new cuisines, playing competitive basketball and going on adventures with his new puppy Putty!

After completing a combined Bachelor of Biomedical Engineering/Bachelor of Medical Science with First Class Honors in 2013, Jess realised her true passion was to be a vet. She applied for a vet nurse internship with MyVet Animal Hospital and worked as a nurse from 2014-2017 whilst undertaking her veterinary studies. She graduated with a distinction average from the University of Sydney with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at the end of 2019, receiving an award for academic excellence in her second year.

After graduating, Jess had an interest in mixed practice and worked in Dubbo from 2020-2021, working with dogs, cats, horses, and cows. During her time in Dubbo, Jess developed an interest in surgery but also was involved with many complicated medical cases. She has continued to learn even after finishing uni; most recently, she attended a conference on managing behaviour in pets and has been trying to help clients better understand certain behavioural aspects of their furbabies.

After working in an extremely busy rural practice, Jess has returned to Sydney and My Vet Animal Hospital, where she wants to really focus on tailored high-quality veterinary care, helping to educate clients as much as possible and pursuing further knowledge and training.

In her spare time, Jess loves to go to the gym, take dancing classes and spend as much time as possible cuddling her Persian furbabies, Laith and Luna.

At a young age, Crystal found her love for animals as she grew up surrounded by animals big and small – from having pet mice, bunnies, fish and cats to her two 80Kg St Bernard’s that she adores! Crystal started out as an vet nurse intern and through her fast learning, hard work and dedication, she became a valuable team member of My Vet.

Crystal only has 1 more semester left with her Vet Nursing course and is very excited to graduate in July 2020 this year (she is top of her class!). She is always looking for ways she can expand her knowledge so that she can treat all your furbabies to the best of her ability! She has a special interest in dental care and animal welfare.

Crystal always make sure that all animals receive the best care and treatment that they should get at My Vet and treat every furbaby that walks through the door like royalty!

Nurse Rhiannon, or Nurse Rhi Rhi as we like to call her, started out as a vet nurse intern at My Vet and is now slowly turning into a super nurse! She is currently finishing up her last year of TAFE Vet Nursing and will be a qualified Vet Nurse by the end of the year! Rhiannon has always had an interest and love for animals of all shapes and sizes but only realised in her final year of high school that she wanted to become a Vet Nurse. She has two dogs at home Domino, Halle, and one cat, Khoda, who she loves dearly! When she isn’t at the clinic you can find her at Oztag, at home relaxing with her animals or hanging around her friends. Nurse Rhi Rhi loves all the animals big and small who come through the clinic always making sure they get all her love and affection!!

Born and raised in Brazil, Michelle came to Australia 9 years ago for work and to improve her English. Michelle has been working as a chef for the past 12 years but is now undertaking a career change to work with animals. She has always loved animals but never had the opportunity to study them back home. She absolutely loves dogs! Back home, she had two poodles, so she is particularly fond of all the “oodle” breeds. She is currently studying a Cert IV in Veterinary Nursing at TAFE and is enjoying applying all her skills and knowledge here as a vet nurse. While she doesn’t have any pets of her own here, she has unwittingly developed a big soft spot for her flatmate’s cats and discovered a love for cats. In her free time, she loves spending time outside and enjoys going to the beach.

Michaela was born and raised in South Africa and is fluent in Afrikaans. She has a background in reception but loves animals and the care and compassion that goes into caring for them, which is why she has chosen to work in the veterinary industry. Michaela loves the outdoors and exploring new places with her two Jack Russell x Fox Terriers Jake and Jilly.
