Veterinarian / Clinic Owner

READ BIO

Having grown up living in and out of the Adelaide Hills, Zoe has always had a love for animals and the area. At the age of 7 she decided she wanted to be a Veterinarian and worked consistently through school to reach this goal.

Graduating from JCU in 2017, Zoe soon found herself travelling to and working in the UK for a clinic caring for all animals from exotic pets to farm animals and all the pets in between. She spent a year in Emergency Medicine for a local clinic while working as a locum in General Practice which cemented what she knew.

Her love of being involved in the day to day care of animals was where she enjoyed herself most. She returned to Australia in 2022 and spent time travelling around Australia as a Locum Vet utilising the skills she obtained before returning home to the Adelaide Hills. Now she is back and focused on being able to deliver the best possible care for animals in the community.

In her limited spare time Zoe enjoys spending time with her Border Collie, Jasper, her full of life Labrador, Nellie, and cuddling with her two cats, a Burmese called Savannah and a DLH she raised from 2 weeks old, Spice and riding her horse, Geri.

Joanna brings her expertise and cheerful demeanor to Vet in the Hills as our Accounts Manager. Always ready with a warm smile, she ensures the smooth operation of our accounts while adding positivity to the clinic every day.

Working in Woodside is a delight for Joanna, especially with the added perk of being just steps away from her favorite coffee spot.

When she’s not managing numbers, Joanna spends her time caring for her Murray Grey cows on her Hills farm and doting on her beloved grandchildren.

Nellie’s journey began right here at Vet in the Hills, where her Mum was inseminated and later delivered via caesarean by our skilled team. From her very first moments, Nellie has been a part of the Vet in the Hills family.

When not at the clinic, Nellie spends her time as Zoe’s loyal sidekick, bringing smiles to everyone she meets.

Whether she’s napping in the office or greeting clients with a wagging tail, Nellie is a beloved member of our team and a reminder of the care and dedication we put into every patient’s story.
