Who is Brei when she’s not being a vet?

Brei has been working with the Ormeau community as a vet for over 10 years! Outside of work she enjoys anything outdoors! She’s very active and you’ll often find her hiking with her family through a National Park. She also loves spending quality time with her horse and keeping fit with a personal trainer. Brei is an equal lover of all animals but has a special spot for her four snakes at home.

Education

Brei graduated from the University of Queensland in 2004 with a Bachelor of Veterinary Science.

Special Interests

Brei has an equal passion for both medicine and surgery. She’s the perfect GP vet and is often called upon for second opinions by her colleagues. Brei has had her share of ‘weird’ medical cases over the years and enjoys putting the pieces of the puzzle together to obtain a diagnosis. She’s a medical detective and nothing gets by her!

Who is Fiona when she’s not being a vet?

Fiona is fluent in English, Cantonese and Mandarin. Outside of work, Fiona and her husband are busy parents to her 6 year old daughter and 4 year old son. She is also a proud pet parent to a 10 year old Budgerigar named Hamish. If she isn’t chasing after the two human energizer bunnies, she actively serves at her church. She relaxes by watching Asian and Sci Fi dramas, going horseriding (when she can) and converting her garden into something more friendly for the native wildlife.

Education

Fiona grew up and attended all her schooling years in Brisbane. She graduated from the University of Qld with a Bachelor of Veterinary Science (Honours) in 2007. Since her graduation, she has worked in various practices in Brisbane, Logan and Ipswich as a small animal general practitioner with a brief stint in mixed animal practice early in her career.

Special Interests

Fiona loves the variety and challenge that GP practice brings. Her particular interest lies in medicine – whether small animal or simple avian and exotic pet medicine. She is also interested in dermatology and dentistry. Keeping with the motto – “prevention is better than cure”, she prefers to catch problems early on to make sure all pets will have the best quality of life possible well into their golden years.  

Who is Kerry when she’s not being a vet?

Kerry loves spending time with her friends and family. She enjoys growing fruits and vegetables – (especially tomatoes) and caring for her indoor plants. A true Pisces at heart she’s never too far from the water on weekends and she loves swimming, bushwalking, photography, digital art, and baking up a storm in the kitchen! She’s currently learning two languages, and enjoys yoga, meditation and snuggling up of an evening with her best friend and cat.

Education
Kerry grew up in Tasmania and graduated from The University of Tasmania in early 2017 with a Bachelor of Science + Honours degree, where she majored in Zoology with minors in Biochemistry, Genetics and Microbiology. In her honours year she looked at new ways to reduce behavioural signs of stress and anxiety in hospitalised veterinary patients. She used the rest of the year to save money (and volunteer teaching children in her spare time) before moving to QLD to start her Veterinary Science Degree + Honours (again!) from 2018 – 2022. In this honours year she looked at the efficacy of ADAPTIL for use in veterinary clinics. If you counted that’s a total of 9 years study, but she wouldn’t change a second. She wants everyone to know there is always more than one pathway to your dreams.

Special Interests

Kerry’s areas of interest are exotic animals and animal behaviour. She would also love to gain more experience in advanced surgical techniques, and loves connecting with clients and being there to support each person in their time of need.
