Stella Noll

Customer Happiness Representative

Stella grew up obsessed with watching Animal Planet, Nat Geo Wild, and anything David Attenborough. Her idol was Steve Irwin, and even named her first pet ever after him. She went on to study Animal and Veterinary Bioscience at the University of Sydney, where she worked closely with domestic, livestock, and wildlife. Having worked in retail and customer service for the past 6 years, this role was a perfect mix of customer care and furry friends prior to returning to postgraduate study.

He is currently doing a Certificate II in Animal Studies course at TAFE and plans to begin university studies in 2023 toward becoming a veterinarian.

Elijah loves listening to music and is a crazy sneakerhead, but not as much as he loves to FaceTime his pets in the Philippines!

Natasha Anthoniel

She is currently undertaking the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in the University of Sydney, where she has continuously explored the wondrous world of animals!

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.

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, Dr. Jess had an interest in mixed practice and worked in Dubbo from 2020-2021, working with dogs, cats, horses, and cows.

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.
