Dr. Cherlene Lee grew up surrounded by animals and wanting to change their lives for the better. She moved to Sydney from Malaysia to pursue her veterinary studies at the University of Sydney. Upon graduation, she expanded her knowledge and gained experience by working at different veterinary hospitals. Inspired by the importance of client education and the vet-animal bond, she sought to found a practice dedicated to empowering every paw-parent to be the best paw-parent they can be. This dream became a reality and My Vet Animal Hospital opened its doors in March 2014.

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.

Dr Jess graduated from the University of Sydney and for as long as she can remember, she has always wanted to become a vet. She was committed to this dream and excelled in her academic achievements, receiving the Premier’s Award for All-Round Excellence. During her studies, she has worked in veterinary clinics and childcare centres, and has even juggled both animals and children at the same time with a mobile petting farm job. She understands just how important the human-animal bond is for people of all ages. She currently has a special interest in surgery.

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!

Dr Adrian has always been fascinated with animals since a young age, and definitely has watched his fair share of David Attenborough documentaries. After completing high school with a Principal’s Letter of Recommendation, he pursued his interest in animals and science and completed a Bachelor of Veterinary Biology / Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Sydney. As a strong advocate for ensuring all animals are able to receive the veterinary attention they deserve, he was an active participant in multiple charity drives throughout his studies and plans to continue doing so throughout his career.

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!

Kazia has been with My Vet Animal Hospital since the very beginning! And we’re super lucky to have her, what with her 8 years of experience in the industry. As practice manager, Kazia ensures the day-to-day operations of our pawesome hospital run smoothly and that every furbaby who walks through the door is treated like absolute royalty.

Have you met Bao? Born in Vietnam but raised in French-speaking Canada, she would happily chatter on about Vietnamese food in French. Bao had spent more than a decade nursing in Canada before finally visiting Australia and falling in love with our little My Vet family. She brings with her a breadth of experience, having worked in a variety of practices, including emergency hospitals. While she loves food, she loves being active all the more! She practises Muay Thai and jiujitsu, plays volleyball, and loves hiking. Bao misses her rescued furbabies, Killah and Rambo, who are still in Canada, and presently spends all her time spoiling Mr. Pebbles.

Giselle came to Australia four years ago to study environmental management. Choosing to be more hands-on, she pursued veterinary nursing and finds herself at My Vet where she makes it her goal to treat every cat like royalty. An adventurer with a passion for wildlife, it has always been her dream to work at a safari in South Africa. She hopes to one day contribute to the field of environmental conservation.

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!

Yuki came to Australia three years ago to pursue her dreams of becoming a vet. She joined the My Vet team as a weekend nurse to gain practical experience and to treat furbabies like the kings and queens they are. When she’s not studying, she enjoys exploring with her adventurous cat Eubie or chilling at home with her floofy cats, Tomoya and Hajime. She also fosters for cat rescues and has a passion for pet photography. You could say her whole world revolves around her cats and you’d be absolutely right.
