DIRECTOR, Veterinarian

Eliza grew up near Surat, in South West Queensland, and decided she wanted to be a vet when she got to ‘help’ stitch up a pony at age 8. She graduated from the University of Queensland in 2013 and spent her first five years as a vet in Goondiwindi, having a great time and learning plenty. A few years of locuming around Australia and one surgery internship later, she took her membership exams in Small Animal Surgery through the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists. This is similar to an advanced general practitioner qualification. She started at Moree in 2022 and was very excited to become a Director and part owner in February 2023. Eliza loves the variety and challenges of rural mixed practice, surgery and small animal dentistry in particular.
